When you’re deep in concentration, even lifting a spoon is too much trouble. This one’s for Philippa at Green Ink, so her “beloved servant” can fetch them for her while she writes.
Bite-sized Bliss
Makes about 24 truffles
2 cups almond meal from almond milk*
2 cups pitted dates
1 cup raw cacao nibs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
Put everything in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth, scraping the mixture down with a spatula as needed. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes, then roll into truffles before dusting with cacao powder.
*Yep, I do make a lot of this stuff. So easy: just blend one part soaked almonds with three parts filtered water, then push through a fine-mesh sieve.
I think you mean the Devoted Lover :P
