Chocolate Truffles with No Added Sugar

05 Feb Chocolate Truffles with No Added Sugar

Simple, Rich & Naturally Sweetened

These chocolate truffles are one of my favorite small sweets to make — simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying. Naturally sweetened and made with wholesome ingredients, they’re perfect for quiet moments, celebrations, or when you want something sweet without excess.

In the video, I make them slowly, alongside finishing a painting — because for me, food and creativity often meet in the same space. Both are rituals. Both are meant to be enjoyed without rush.

Ingredients

Chocolate Truffles

• 1 cup ground almonds or almond flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 6–8 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in hot water for 10mins
• 1–2 tbsp almond butter or tahini
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• a handful of natural freezed strawberries

Chocolate coatings

• Semi sweet chocolate
• 1 Tbsp of avocado oil
• Finely chopped nuts or freezed strawberries
• seasalt (my favorite)

Tips for Best Results

• Use soft, sticky dates for the smoothest texture or soak them in hot water for 10mins before use.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more or fewer dates
• If the mixture feels dry, add a teaspoon of water or nut butter, I use tahini!
• Chill before serving for the best consistency

Storage

• Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days
• Freeze for up to 2 months
• Enjoy straight from the fridge or slightly softened at room temperature
