Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup coconut flakes
pinch of sea salt
1 1/2 cups Medjool dates, packed, pitted
1/2 cup chocolate coconut peanut butter (such as Wild Friends or any preferred nut butter)

Coating & Garnish

6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
freeze dried raspberries, crushed, for garnish
finely shredded coconut, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Base Mixture: Pulse raw cashews, coconut flakes, and a pinch of sea salt in a food processor until the texture becomes fine and flour-like. Add the Medjool dates and chocolate coconut peanut butter, then blend until a sticky, dough-like mixture forms. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the processor a few times to ensure even mixing.
Form and Chill the Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 20 to 25 in total. Place them on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes. This chilling step is crucial to help the balls maintain their shape when dipped in melted chocolate.
Melt the Chocolate: Using a microwave, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1 ½ minutes in total.
Dip and Garnish: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with finely shredded coconut and crushed freeze dried raspberries for a colorful and flavorful garnish.
Set and Store: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature. These truffles can be kept at room temperature if consumed within a couple of days, stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or frozen for longer storage.

Notes

Freezing the energy bite balls before dipping in chocolate is essential to prevent them from falling apart.
You can substitute the chocolate coconut peanut butter with any preferred nut butter, but chocolate coconut flavor enhances the truffle taste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
These truffles make great make-ahead snacks and freeze well for extended storage.
Using dark chocolate provides an antioxidant boost and less sugar compared to milk chocolate.
