Equipment

Food Processor

Ingredients

3/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
9 Medjool dates pitted
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp pure cacao powder
2½ oz dark chocolate (85% or more) melted

Instructions

Pulse all ingredients except the Dark Chocolate in a food processor until a coarse paste forms
Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to make 10-12 balls. Roll in your hands to smooth out
Top each truffle with a whole toasted hazelnut
Melt the Dark Chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave for about 1 minute (or use a double boiler on your stove)
Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and turn around to coat. Place Baci (truffles) on a cooling rack or a plate lined with parchment paper
Freeze for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate has completely hardened. Buon appetito!

Notes

If you let them freeze for a longer than 30 minutes it's even better, but 30 minutes is plenty time to let the chocolate set and solidify completely. Enjoy!
