    Jump to Recipe

    Whenever I am recipe testing with chocolate, I make sure I stop by my bff’s place so she can taste my creations and give me her two cents.

    Anu is one of the few people in my inner circle who enjoys anything chocolate, anything refined sugar free, and anything healthy.

    I certainly know healthy desserts are not everyone’s cup of tea, so It’s nice to have a few people around who have similar taste and appreciate my efforts.

    So let’s discuss these Healthy Date Walnut Cacao Bites which are kinda like healthy truffles. These bites are vegan, gluten-free and flourless. Healthy Date Walnut Cacao Bites

    I started by blending walnuts in a food processor and then added dates, cacao powder, vanilla, water and sea salt.Healthy Date Walnut Cacao Bites

    Within seconds the ingredients come together in dough form. Then proceed with making these bites into little balls. Coat them with cacao powder and freeze them for a few hours before serving. They are amazing! Both my bestie and I loved them!

      Love dates, and they work so well in baked things. They add tons of flavor, sweetness, and moistness. Terrific recipe -- I've love one of these. Or two. Or three. 🙂
