It is not easy to find a recipe for a delicious dessert that is also good for you. Well, here is one.

Don’t be sidelined by the word – prunes. Try and you will see how good they can taste!

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/4 cup pitted dates
  • 3 TBS almond butter
  • 1 TBS maple syrup
  • 3 TBS unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 cup finely grated unsweetened coconut

Directions:

  1. In a food processor, drop the prunes and dates through the feed hole one by one. Scrape the processor bowl and run until the prunes and dates are smooth.
  2. Add remaining ingredients except for the coconut. Run until smooth and scrape the processor bowl with a spatula as needed.
  3. Roll the mixture into 12 one-inch balls and roll in coconut to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.

Makes 12 pieces.

Try these lovely truffles with tea or coffee.
