Makes 8-10 truffles depending on the size
Ingredients
- 1 medium size sweet potato, cooked until very soft (either roasted or steamed)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 10 medjool dates, pitted
- 4 heaped tbsp raw cacao powder
- 2 tbsp Organised
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For coating:
- 90g dark chocolate, we used 85% cocoa
- A sprinkle of shredded coconut for decoration
Method
- Scoop out the flesh from the sweet potato and add it to a food processor together with the dates and coconut oil. Blitz until you have a fairly smooth puree.
- Add in all the remaining ingredients to the food processor and blitz for 1 minutes. Scrape the sides and blitz again a couple of times. You should have a sticky batter. Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon shape the mixture into round balls and transfer them to a roasting tray covered with baking paper.
- Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- In the meantime melt the dark chocolate. Using a fork dip the truffles into the dark chocolate and place them back on the baking paper. Sprinkle each truffle with some shredded coconut.
- Place in the fridge to set for the final 20-30 minutes.
- If you have any leftovers store them in a container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
