Preparation

Step 1

Makes approximately 1 1/2 dozen truffles

In a food processor, blend the dates with the cocoa powder and orange zest until a paste is formed.

Using slightly damp hands, form 3/4-inch balls from the date mixture. Roll the balls in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, coconut flakes or toasted sesame seeds to finish the truffle.
