Ingredients

Date Paste

  • 1 pound pitted dates
  • 1 cup liquid water, unsweetened non-dairy milk, or unsweetened juice

Chocolate FUNdue

  • 1 cup peanut butter no salt or sugar
  • 1 cup date paste
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 Tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract

The Truffles

  • One batch of Chocolate FUNdue
  • Chopped peanuts or other nuts

Instructions

For the Date Paste:

  • Soak dates in liquid overnight or for several hours until much of the liquid is absorbed.
  • In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, purée the dates and liquid until completely smooth.

For the Chocolate FUNdue:

  • Place all ingredients except for the milk in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade and process until ingredients are incorporated, scraping down sides if necessary. Slowly add non-dairy milk, a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. You can use/eat this immediately or chill for a firmer texture.

To Assemble the Truffles:

  • Chill FUNdue until firm
  • Using a small retractable cookie scoop, drop FUNdue into crushed nuts and roll to coat evenly.
  • Bananas are also delicious when dipped in FUNdue and rolled in crushed nuts and then frozen.

Notes

For a lower fat/calorie version of the Chocolate FUNdue, substitute cannellini beans for some of the nut butter.
