Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles (GF)
Got leftover pumpkin? Make my Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles for a healthy treat! Dates are a nutrient dense, natural sweetener. They provide fiber and antioxidants which help to balance blood sugar.
Directions:
Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside. Add the peanut butter and dates to a food processor and blend until the dates are broken down into tiny pieces. Add the remaining ingredients for the truffles to the food processor and process until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the spices to your preference. Put in the fridge for 10 minutes to get more firm.
Flour your fingertips with almond flour and take out a spoonful of the truffle mixture at a time and roll into a ball shape between the palms of your hands. Place the truffles onto the prepared cookie sheet. Transfer the cookie sheet to the freezer for approximately 10 minutes, or until they firm up.
Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in a bowl and dip each truffle in the melted dark chocolate, covering entirely. Place on the baking sheet. Dust with cacao powder and sea salt. Leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
