Raw Chocolate Fudge Balls

Like many other raw desserts, the base of the original raw chocolate fudge balls was raw nuts, such as walnuts or cashews.

This meant everyone allergic to nuts or who chose not to eat them couldn’t join in the fudge baby fun. So finally, here is a chocolatey raw dessert that is 100% completely nut-free!

The pinch of salt gives these raw chocolate truffles surprising flavor depth, making up for the lack of fat in the recipe, and they’re pretty easy to whip up for a quick snack.

Raw Chocolate Fudge Balls Recipe
Like many other raw desserts, the base of the original raw chocolate fudge balls was raw nuts, such as walnuts or cashews.



Ingredients : 

• 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
• 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp cacao or cocoa powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• optional small handful chocolate chips
• optional cocoa, shredded coconut, melted chocolate, etc.

Instructions : 

1. Combine the first three ingredients (and chips, if using) in a strong food processor or Vitamix, and blend until completely smooth. 
2. Scoop into a bowl, and freeze until the sticky dough is firm enough to roll balls (a half hour or so). 
3. Once balls are rolled—either with your hands or a mini cookie scoop—you can roll in the optional cocoa or coconut, or just eat them plain. 
4. And stored leftover raw chocolate fudge balls in the freezer to keep them as firm as possible.
