Makes 16 Truffles

Tart Cherry Cacao Truffles Ingredients

1 cup Organic Apple Sweetened Tart Cherries
½ cup Organic Goji Berries
¼ cup Organic Whole Pitted Dates
½ cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup Organic Almond Meal
1 tsp. vanilla essence
¼ tsp. cinnamon powder
¼ cup Organic Chocolate Kibbles 
2 tbsp. Organic Cacao Powder
2 tbsp. Organic Lucuma Powder 

Method

Combine all ingredients except for the Chocolate Kibbles, Cacao Powder and Lucuma Powder in a food processor and process until dense dough has formed. Add the Chocolate Kibbles and pulse a couple of times to combine, leaving in some textural crunch. Check the consistency of the dough – it should hold together when pressed. If too crumbly add a tsp of water at a time until the mixture holds firmly when pressed.
Mix the Cacao Powder and Lucuma Powder together in a bowl. With your hands, form a ball with one heaped teaspoon of the dough at a time and roll in the cacao-lucuma powder to coat the truffles. Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Optional: Roll truffles in more of the Chocolate Kibbles for extra crunch
