Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

• Place the almonds in a food processoror high-speed blender and process until nearly they are the consistency of a fine powder. Stop before it turns to almond butter.
• Add the cacao powder, chocolate, dates (minus the water), and spices and blend well.
• Add 2 teaspoons of date water ONLY if your batter is too dry and not sticking together. It should be difficult to process at this point.
• Transfer to a bowl and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer and roll into 1-inch balls. They will be sticky but manageable.
• Roll in cacao powder (optional) and keep frozen to keep them fresh. You can eat them chilled or at room temperature.
