These chocolate truffles can be used as an after meal treat or a quick chocolate fix. Free from refined sugar, grains and gluten but still deliciously smooth.Method

• Soak the dates in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain off the excess liquid.
• Place the truffle ingredients in the food processor and whizz together until a soft ball has formed, adding a teaspoon water to help if needed.
• Roll the mixture into small equal sized balls and place on a lined tray. Once all the balls have been rolled up, place the cocoa powder in a bowl.
• Lightly roll and dust evenly to coat.
• Place them back on the lined tray and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
