Receta Chocolate Macadamia Nut Truffles
Chocolate Macadamia Nut Truffles
One of my guilty pleasures is chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Whenever our family would go to Hawaii, we would literally bring back boxes of the stuff – and enjoy them for weeks after we got home.
But the problem was, each tiny piece of chocolate was 50-80 calories (depending on the brand) — and it was so addicting you couldn’t stop at just one!
I had never thought a healthier version was possible until I came across this recipe on Dr. Oz’s website.
Made with just 5 ingredients, these truffles have zero added sugar but are still amazingly sweet and decadent! They’re also double the size of their more sinful cousin, but only ~70 calories a piece.
Oh, and they literally take 10 minutes to make.
The Ingredients
- 1/4 cup organic medjool dates, pitted and chopped (comes to about 4 dates)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole macadamia nuts
- 2 tbsp macadamia nut butter (make your own by grinding up about 12-15 macadamia nuts in a food processor until smooth!)
- Dash of sea salt
- The Directions
- Step 1: Add all of the ingredients into a food processor. Blend on high until the ingredients form a smooth dough.
- Step 2: Divide the dough into 15 equal parts (about 1 Tbsp each, maybe a little more). Roll with your hands into balls. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour (to set) before serving.
- That’s it! Each of these truffles is so satisfying, you can totally stop after having just one. Which makes it the perfect guilt-free dessert!
