Chocolate Tahini Truffles
2min read
These guys are our favourite party trick. They come together in 15 minutes, but have enough richness to convince a crowd that countless hours of time and effort went into making them. We like to make one batch with chocolate, and one without that can double up as a morning snack.

Makes
20 truffles
Ingredients
Truffles:
1 cup cashews
12 large medjool dates, pitted
2 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp cacao powder
⅛-¼ tsp salt (to taste)
Chocolate coating (optional):
75g dark chocolate
2 tbsp coconut oil
Toppings:
Cacao nibs
Crushed nuts
Method
STEP 1
Add cashews to a food processor and blend until they’re broken down (around 10 seconds). Add Medjool dates, tahini, cacao and salt, and blend until the mixture reaches a “dough”- like texture (around 45-60 seconds).
STEP 2
Form small truffles by rolling the mixture between your hands. Once they’re all rolled, let them chill in your freezer for 5-10 minutes.
STEP 3
If you are coating them in chocolate, good choice! While the truffles chill in the fridge, melt your chocolate in a bowl with two tbsp coconut oil. Remove the truffles from the fridge, and drop a couple of truffles into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Using a fork, remove them from the chocolate and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking tray. Repeat with all of the truffles.
STEP 4
Store them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week, or in your freezer for up to 3 weeks.
