For parties they are perfect, small, to eat "at once" portions, healthy snacks or sweet desserts. In fact, they may be formulated according to one's taste, just keep in mind that one of the ingredients must be "sticky" to unite the remaining. There is no sugar added, not counting the small amount that is in a jam. Truffles are very tasty and your hand will reach to them over and over.
Ingredients for about 60 truffles:
400 g cashew nut butter
300 g of jam*, preferably w/o sugar added
120 g spelt bran, grained
100 ml rum, I used gold
20 pieces of dried in the sun dates
4 - 5 tbsp dark raisins
4 tbsp cocoa, organic
Pinch of sea salt
Additionally:
The shredded coconut
Directions:
Chop dates and along with raisins put into a small dish, pour with rum. Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or until the whole alcohol is absorbed. Place cashew nuts in the food processor with letter "S" blade and mix until nuts will form a sticky, dense consistency (~5 min). Then, add all the remaining ingredients and mix until they are well combined. Transferred the dough to a bowl and refrigerate for an hour or two. After this time, form walnut size balls in your hands and roll the balls over the shredded coconut. Done. Store in a refrigerator for up to a week.
