Date Cashew Chocolate Orange Balls

Hi all! I wanted to share with you guys one of my favorite healthy sweet treats! I love these chocolate orange date cashew cacao truffles. They are packed full of goodness and perfect to keep in the fridge!

Recipe bellow:

You will need:

1 cup raw unsalted cashew nuts

14 dates

2 Tbsp cacao

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1 scoop organic plant based protein powder (optional)

1 tbsp maple syrup

Juice and zest of 1 whole orange

1/2 cup shredded coconut

To coat:

2 cups dark chocolate (I like Hu Kitchen)

1 tbsp coconut oil

Pinch of sea salt on each ball

These are so unbelievably simple and quick to make. Throw the cashews in to a food processor and blitz until fine crumbs. Then add in the dates and all the other ingredients and continue to mix on high until combined.

Then add in the maple syrup, orange zest and juice until the mix starts to come together in a big clump.

With a tablespoon measurement, scoop out a ball of the mixture.

Roll in to smooth balls with your hands then drop them in to the melted dark chocolate.

Place on a lined baking sheet and sprinkle each one with a touch of maldon sea salt.

Then pop them in to the fridge to set for an hour or 2 before eating.

Once they are set, place in a sealed Tupperware and save in the fridge for the week. They will last up to 2 months!

Simple, healthy, sweet, delicious and filling!
