I hope everyone had a nice long weekend (for my American readers at least!). I can’t say it was my best weekend in a while, but I let myself be distracted by family and my tiny little pup Hank. And chocolate, always chocolate.

These Raw Chocolate Truffles were inspired by some no-cook truffles from a local juicery here in San Diego. My dad usually has a container of them stored in his fridge and it’s rare I don’t snag one when I see them sitting in there, look so tasty and chocolatey!

Since no-bake, raw treats couldn’t be much easier to make, I figured it was about dang time I figured out how to make them myself to keep my own stash in my fridge…and so you guys could have stashes of them in your fridges too! Raw chocolate truffles for all.

Because we love simple and easy desserts around here, these raw chocolate truffles only have FIVE ingredients. There’s six listed, but that’s because one is optional, for those who want an extra superfood boost.

Raw Chocolate Truffles…and they’re paleo + vegan!

They start with nature’s candy – Medjool dates! These ultra soft and sweet fruits are the perfect thing to give these truffles sweetness, while their stickiness helps bind the truffles together and gives them a deliciously chewy texture.

Pro-tip: my dates were super soft, but if yours are a little more dried out, make sure to soak them in hot water for 5 minutes to help soften them up before blending.

Almond butter adds fat and richness and helps prevent the truffles from being too sticky from the dates. It adds a slightly nutty flavor and makes the texture of the chocolate truffles luxurious! You can sub the almond butter out for your favorite nut or seed butter if desired, to customize the taste to your preferences.

Almond flour adds some additional bulk and helps everything come together, while cacao powder adds that deliciously rich and deep chocolate flavor. I opted to add some maca powder as well – I love the energy boost it gives! You can skip it, or add any other superfood powders/adaptogens your heart & body desire. Of course, a pinch of salt helps round out all that sweet chocolate flavor.

Once all of the ingredients come together in the blender, try a piece! Make sure it tastes the way you like, adjust if necessary, and when you’re satisfied, roll the mixture into balls, and then roll your balls in hemp seeds or cacao powder. You can also leave them naked if you prefer :)

These Raw Chocolate Truffles are a healthy chocolate lovers’ dream – all the goodness you crave from a chocolate truffle, without the guilt that comes along with one full of refined sugars and dairy! I hope you’ll let these satisfy your next chocolate craving. Enjoy!

    I would love to make these, but almond flour is not available. What would be a good substitute?

      Any kind of nut or seed flour should work!

      Hi Clair, I haven’t tried it but that should be totally fine! Just make sure they’re sealed in a freezer bag or airtight container.

    These sound delicious.. :)

    .. Can coconut flour be used in place of the almond flour ,,,

      Hi Mary, I’d use about 3 tablespoons coconut flour instead of the almond flour since it’s so much more absorbent.

    My 10 year old daughter and I made these and loved them. So easy and delicious! Because my daughter’s homeroom teacher has a restricted diet (paleo) we sent her a little jarful of these. Her teacher begged me for the recipe and told us that she wanted to make more. I sent her to your website. :-)
