Directions
1. In a food processor blend together the dates, walnuts and almonds until they form a crumbly paste. If too thick, add a little water, just enough for it to come together. It doesn’t have to be smooth. Add cocoa powder and blend until incorporated.
2. Remove the nut mixture from the processor and place in a large bowl. Stir in the coconut, agave, vanilla extract, almond extract and mix until smooth. If mixture is too sticky place it the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
3. Measure the truffle mixture out 1 heaping tablespoon each. Roll it into balls by rolling between you palms. Coat truffles in shredded coconut, crushed nuts or cocoa powder then place on parchment paper.
