Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 and 1/2 cups carrots (3 medium, roughly chopped)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups walnuts (or sunflower seeds to make them nut-free)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 5 Medjool dates (1/2 cup, pitted)
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly ground)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 bar vegan white chocolate (80 g)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Vegan cream cheese (for the swirl)
  • Maple syrup (for the swirl)

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • small saucepan
  • Heat-proof bowl
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Piping bag
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Processing the Mixture
  1. Add all ingredients except vegan white chocolate to a food processor. Pulse until a sticky, crumbly mix forms that holds together when pressed. Avoid over-processing if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Rolling the Truffles
  1. Portion the mixture with a cookie scoop or large spoon. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Create a small indentation in the center of each truffle using a piping bag or small spoon. Fill the indentation with a mixture of vegan cream cheese, a touch of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Arrange on a parchment-lined dish and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or longer to firm up.
Melting the White Chocolate
  1. Break the vegan white chocolate bar into small chunks. Place in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of gently boiling water (double boiler method), ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Cover and stir occasionally until smooth and pourable. Add 1 teaspoon (or more) coconut oil if needed for consistency. Let cool for about 5 minutes before dipping.
Dipping and Setting
  1. Remove firm truffles from the freezer. Dip each truffle into the cooled melted white chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Place dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined dish. Return to the freezer for another 15 minutes or longer until the coating is fully set. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

For the best texture, soak Medjool dates in warm water before blending. Always freeze the truffle balls thoroughly before dipping them in cooled white chocolate to ensure a smooth coating. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
