Use a hand mixer to mash dates into a puree.

This is such a simple but delicious recipe. Follow your taste to add different add-ons as desired—some shredded coconut, another nut butter, or even extra dark chocolate to coat the whole truffle.

Recipe Notes

This is hands down one of the best recipes I've tried yet. You can taste the creaminess of the cashew butter but at the same time, pecans provide a crunchy bite. Naturally sweetened using fresh dates. Seriously these truffles are the perfect healthy dessert.
