Almond Pecan Truffle Balls
1 cup almonds soaked for 4-5 hours, and drained
½ cup pecans soaked for 2 hours, and drained
6 Medjool dates
1/3 cup shredded dried coconut plus
1/3 cup extra for rolling
2 Tablespoons cacao powder
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or beans scrapped from 1 vanilla bean
Dash of agave
Pinch of salt
Pulse nuts and dates in food processor until desired texture almost fine with a tad chunk.
Pinch mixture between fingers to see if it sticks together. If not, add more dates one at a time until mixture can be rolled and stick together. Remove mixture to a bowl and add shredded coconut, cacao powder, vanilla, agave and salt. Mix until well blended.
Roll in desired size balls, I recommend not to large. Wet your hands slightly every few balls to help them roll easily. Set each one on parchment paper or a non-stick sheet from your dehydrator. When all the mixture is rolled, coat them by rolling in finely shredded coconut that has been placed in a dish, or if you prefer, in cacao powder.
Place in a container and cover. Store in refrigerator.
