Chocolate Orange Truffles
I’m honestly in love! Dark chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven.
The funny thing is when I was growing up chocolate-orange was my least favourite flavour, but over the years I definitely acquired the taste for it and am now a fan! With the change in temperature, and winter creeping in, my body must naturally be craving a lil vitamin C, as recipes with oranges are grabbing my attention.
These dark chocolate orange truffles are simply delicious and decadent.
Ingredients
200g of medjool dates *
zest of 1 orange
small squeeze of orange juice
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
3 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
(plus more for rolling the balls in)
Pinch of salt
Method
Simply pit the dates and blend all the ingredients together in a food processor until totally smooth – make sure you only use a small squeeze of orange juice otherwise the mixture will be too wet!
Scoop a teaspoonful of the mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball, then roll the ball in cacao powder.
Repeat until you have used all the mixture.
Place the balls in the fridge for a few hours to firm up.
Top Tip – When rolling the balls I like to rub a little coconut oil into my hands to stop the truffle mixture sticking too much.
Notes
* If you can’t get medjool dates, you can soak dried dates in hot water until soft.

Vegan Chocolate Cake with frosting
A vegan cake that tastes just like a traditional rich chocolate cake? Huh! Never! There's no way, right? Well, I was wrong. I'd choose this cake over any cake on a dessert table. And I can guarantee you that no-one would even notice that it was a wheat-free,...
