Dark Chocolate Tahini Truffles (5 Ingredients, No-Bake, GF/DF)
Craving chocolatey and salty? These are “grown-up fudge” that kids still steal before dinner.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup tahini smooth, unsalted
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder plus more for rolling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- sesame seeds, shredded coconut, or melted dairy-free chocolate optional coatings
Instructions
- Soften dates if firm: Soak 5 minutes in warm water; drain.
- Blend: Process dates to a paste; add tahini, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Adjust: 1 tsp more tahini if dry; chill if sticky.
- Scoop & roll into 1-inch balls.
- Coat in cocoa, sesame, coconut, or drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Chill 30 minutes to set; store chilled or frozen.
Notes
Keeps ~10 days in the fridge, months in the freezer—great gifts. Don’t love tahini? Use almond or cashew butter (sunflower works, bolder flavor). Finish with flaky sea salt for extra oomph.
