House hunting is a full-time job: checking property ads, speaking to estate agents, seeing houses, negotiating prices and conditions. Quite a hectic life compared to my otherwise well-organized days as a gatherer (e.g. foods in the supermarket, dirty clothes from various rooms, kids toys when tidying up the house in the evening). So hectic that I sometimes don’t find time to eat. Hunger comes when I relax in the evening on the sofa, in form of sugar cravings. In fact, truffle cravings.
————————————————————————
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
desiccated coconut
chopped or ground pistachios

If the dried dates are too dry and hard, soften them by pouring boiling water over them and soak for 10-15 minutes. Drain excess water.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until ingredients stick together. Add more coconut oil if the batter doesn’t hold together. Form balls of the size of a cherry or walnut. Roll each one in your preferred coating. Keep in mini paper muffin liners. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
I absolutely love dates, so this is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to bookmark this!
Yum! I’ve never made truffles before so maybe I’ll give these a try. Good luck on house hunting and I hope you find what your looking for!

These look delicious! I’ve made treats like this before with dates and they are great!
Wow! I love your recipes. That looks delicious and healthy =)
Oh my God. Go make these, right now. Thank you, Anja! These little balls of goodness just made my morning.
How long do these keep for?
The only thing that can go off is soaked dates. If you use unsoaked dates, they will pretty much last several weeks.
