  2. If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Tip: If you want to skip freezing, mix in about ⅓ cup of almond flour (or other flour of choice) to help firm it up.
  5. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (or egg shapes for Easter!). Slightly wet hands can help with sticking.

  6. Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil using the double boiler method: place the ingredients in a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and place on a lined tray. Refrigerate until the coating sets (about 15–20 minutes).
  8. Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge.
  9. Bonus tip: They’re even better on the third day, so make them up to 2 days ahead for the best texture and flavor!
