Coconut Date Truffles

f you need a little afternoon pick me up or a study snack, these are for you.  Sweet and satisfying with a hint of cinnamon, they are just so delicious!  I also make a chocolate version with unsweetened cocoa powder which tempers the sweetness of the dates, but I also really like how here the natural flavours shine through without being overpowered by the cocoa.  That being said, the chocolate ones are incredible.

These coconut date truffles take under 5 minutes to prepare and last a few weeks in the fridge (but I doubt you’ll be able to leave them that long).
