Servings 30 Truffles

Equipment

  • high-speed blender

Ingredients
  

For the truffles:

  • 100 g uncooked uncooked
  • 250 ml water
  • 140 g dates pitted and diced
  • 30 g FAIR-TRADE cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon water

For the chocolate:

  • 50 g cacao butter melted
  • 50 g FAIR-TRADE cacao or cocoa powder
  • 30 g coconut sugar preferably finely ground (or more if you like it sweeter)

Instructions
 

  • Place millet and water in a small pot, cover with lid and bring to the boil. Let simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the moisture is soaked up, with the lid slightly opened. Then let rest covered for 10 minutes. The millet should have become fluffy. Let cool down completely before the next step.
  • Pulse the dates in a high-speed blender to fine crumbles. Add to the millet.
  • Sift in cacao or cocoa powder and mix well. Add just enough water to form a knead-able dough.
  • Form the balls and place in fridge or freezer while preparing the chocolate.
  • For the chocolate place all ingredients into a cup that sits in a bowl with hot water. Stir well to dissolve.
  • Use a wooden skewer to pick up one ball and then dip it into the chocolate. Allow to cool a little before picking up the next ball (I use a whole bunch of wooden skewers and place them into a glass to let cool down the chocolate). Garnish to your liking while the chocolate is still soft. Best kept chilled.

Enjoy! :)
