Pecan Salted Caramel Truffles

May 31, 2016 · 7 Comments

 

Oh my goodness, these are so amazing.

 

These Pecan Salted Caramel Truffles taste a bit like caramel lollies! I came across a Nakd food bar in my supermarket last month and the only ingredients were dates and cashews. It was so delicious and so caramely, it inspired me to add some more of my favourite ingredients and make these truffles. Well, they are sort of a bliss ball, but taste a bit more decadent so I called them a truffle.

Hope you like them as much as we do!

 

Pecan Salted Caramel Truffles

Vital Stats: gluten free, grain free, vegetarian, vegan, egg free, paleo

This is what you need:

1 cup organic cashews

1 cup organic medjool dates (or you can use dried dates, just soak in hot water and drain well)

1/2 cup organic pecans

1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (or a tad more if you like it salty)

1/2 scraped organic vanilla pod (or any sort of vanilla you have)

 

This is how to do it:

Take the pits out of the dates (important!). Throw the dates into a strong food processor or thermomix with the cashews, salt and vanilla and blend until they just start to come together in a ball. Be careful – if you overprocess, they will go weird and shed oil.

Now add in the pecans and just pulse until they are chopped up a little. I like to see the pecan bits still in there. Roll into small balls and pop in the fridge or freezer to store. But I can tell you now they taste good straight up!

 

Please let me know if you try the Pecan Salted Caramel Truffles and what you thought!

Amaze Balls! Ten amazing bliss ball recipes

Amaze Balls! Ten amazing bliss ball recipes

Aptly named, as these little balls of flavour are very blissful.

They are fantastic as a healthy alternative to lollies for kids (and big kids).

Bliss balls are great to pop in lunch boxes or to have after dinner if you have a sweet craving.

Just remember that most bliss balls do contain a lot of dried fruit and nuts so are a concentrated form of nutrients.

Try to restrain yourself to one or two.

I put mine in the freezer so I am not tempted, although they do taste good frozen!

Okay, so here are my pick of the best bliss balls around:
