Pecan-date-cacao truffles with Kona liqueur
Luscious, boozy little morsels.
Ingredients
- 10 dates fresh, preferably Medjool
- 1 cup pecans (115 g)
- 1/2 cup cacao nibs unsweetened (50 g)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt vanilla or smoked sea salt or pink Himalayan salt (omit for low-sodium diets)
- 2 tbsp Kona liqueur can add more if needed
Instructions
- Remove the pits from the dates.
- Finely grind the sea salt in a mortar and pestle, to make less salt flavor go farther.
- Put the dates in your food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Process until the mixture is finely ground and holds together when pressed.
- Using a 1 T. measure, form the truffles and roll into balls. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment, waxed paper, or a silicone sheet.
- Sprinkle with a little bit of sea salt flakes if desired.
- Refrigerate until firm.
