Cacao Truffles

Ingredients
½ cup pitted prunes
¼ cup pitted dates
3 tbsp almond butter
2 tbsp Agave Nectar
2 tbsp cacao powder*
1/4 cup grated unsweetened coconut
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
Directions

Place unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Combine prunes and dates in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add almond butter, agave nectar, and cacao powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix in coconut by hand.

Scoop up about a tsp of fruit mixture and roll between the palms of your hand to form a small ball. Roll each ball in cocoa powder and place on a tray or plate that will fit in your fridge. Refrigerate until firm and enjoy!

*If you do not have cacao powder on hand, don't worry! You can simply add 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder instead and the truffles won't even know the difference!

Makes 12 truffles.
