Cacao Basic Truffle

This recipe will make about a dozen truffles. I like to make small batches daily forfreshness.

¼ Cup Cacao
6 Dried Apricots
1 tsp. Coconut Oil
2 tsp. Agave Nectar
½ Vanilla Bean

Grind cacao and vanilla bean in a coffee grinder on the espresso setting (if your grinder has one). Add all ingredients into a mini food processor* with the “S” blade. Start by using a pulsing motion until the batter begins to blend. Continue blending until the batterforms a smooth ball on one side of the processor.

*If a larger food processor is used, it will be necessary to double, triple or even quadruple the above ingredients to make sure the batter is above the blades.

Last night I was feeling a little adventurous. I added the following ingredients to the basic truffle mix:

2 additional teaspoons of Agave Nectar
1/8 tsp Cayenne
1/8 tsp Blue Manna
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp maca
1/4 tsp carob
a pinch of salt

This makes about 20 small truffles. Have fun with it. Enjoy the creation of your truffle and the manifestation of your destiny as you ingest cacao, the food of the gods!
