No bake cacao and spiced truffle

These are bite sized balls packed with dates, nuts, and of course Soma Cacao ♥️

I really lovely the combination of chocolate and raspberry, so any recipe I stumble upon that combines the two always grabs my attention…

Ingredients:
For the filling:
✨ 12 pitted medjool dates
✨ 1 cup walnuts
✨ 1/2 cup almonds
✨ 1/2 cup hazelnuts
✨ 2 big tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
✨ 1-2 tablespoons ginger bread spice (combo of ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves)
✨ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
✨ 1 tablespoon cacao

For the chocolate coating;
✨ 100 grams Soma Cacao (a few heaped tablespoons)
✨ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
✨ 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
✨freeze-dried raspberries
✨ salt

Method:
1. Soak the dates in a bowl of hot water for 15 minutes or until soft.
2. Blend all filling ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor until you form a smooth dough.
3. Scoop out and roll the filling into small balls.
4. To make the chocolate coating, using the double boiler method or a microwave, carefully melt the Soma Cacao with the coconut oil and maple syrup until silky and runny.
5. Cover the date balls with the chocolate.
6. Place them on a plate lined with baking paper.
7. Decorate with freeze dried raspberries and some salt ontop.
8. Place the balls in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
