Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 12 large medjool dates pitted
  • cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp collagen peptides sub more coconut for vegan
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips sub homemade carob chips for AIP
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F and line a baking sheet with parchement paper. Add the shredded coconut to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 4-8 minutes, checking often to ensure they don't burn, until lightly toasted. Set aside, dividing out 2 tbsp to use for topping the truffles later.
  • If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 5-10 minutes until soft. Strain the water and add the dates to the food processor. Pulse until the dates are mashed and sticky and no large peices of dates remain.
  • Spoon the date mixture into a large bowl and mix with the toasted shredded coconut, coconut milk collagen peptides, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  • Line a large plate with parchment paper and roll the date and coconut mixture into about 10 balls. Transfer to the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes.
  • While the truffles chill, melt the chocolate and the coconut oil using your preferred method (I prefer a double boiler method).
  • Carefully drop each truffle into the chocolate and rotate with a spoon to fully coat. Transfer back to the parchment lined plate and top each truffle with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut.
  • Chill in the fridge 30-45 minutes, or the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve chilled.
