Description

Make these … NOW! Honestly, these are one of, if not my favorite RAW treat. They are easy to make, require little ingredients, and can be tweaked to your liking. These taste like creamy, rich, vanilla ice-cream-y, truffle-y balls, with a slightly crunchy outside. And, like all RAW treats, you don’t have to feel guilty about munching on these are they are good for you, and very filling (I had two of them for breakfast, YUM!).

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Cashews (soaked In Water For At Least 1 Hour, And Drained Fully)
  • 2 Tablespoons Reserved Cashew Water
  • 1 cup Dates
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • ⅓ cups Hemp Hearts, Or Sesame Seeds

Preparation

1. In a blender, blend all of the ingredients (except for the hemp hearts) until smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of reserved cashew water until the mixture becomes smooth (if needed). Try to avoid adding too much water, but instead keep pressing the mixture down with a spatula and re-blending until it becomes as smooth as possible (it takes longer, but too much water can make the truffles too sticky). Place the smooth, slightly sticky mixture in a bowl, and put in the freezer for about 2 hours (or until it is firm and can be scooped up, and rolled into little balls without it sticking too much).

2. Sprinkle the hemp hearts/ sesame seeds onto a large plate. Take about 1 tablespoon of the cashew mixture and roll into a small ball, transferring to the plate of hemp hearts and rolling until completely covered. Return the truffles back to the freezer for at least 3 hours (or until they are firm). Enjoy!

These are great! They taste like ice cream balls. Do keep frozen till ready to serve. I would let them sit out a few minutes before serving. Thanks for the recipe Veganess Eats :)
