These delicious treats come with the healthiest ingredients that could be put into them, so have no fear to have a little extra when you crave some FUNdue!
Ingredients
Date Paste
- 1 pound pitted dates
- 1 cup liquid , water, unsweetened non-dairy milk, or unsweetened juice
Chocolate FUNdue
- 1 cup peanut butter, no salt or sugar
- 1 cup date paste
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 Tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
The Truffles
- One batch of Chocolate FUNdue
- Chopped peanuts or other nuts
Instructions
For the Date Paste:
- Soak dates in liquid overnight or for several hours until much of the liquid is absorbed.
- In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, purée the dates and liquid until completely smooth.
For the Chocolate FUNdue:
- Place all ingredients except for the milk in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade and process until ingredients are incorporated, scraping down sides if necessary. Slowly add non-dairy milk, a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. You can use/eat this immediately or chill for a firmer texture.
To Assemble the Truffles:
- Chill FUNdue until firm
- Using a small retractable cookie scoop, drop FUNdue into crushed nuts and roll to coat evenly.
- Bananas are also delicious when dipped in FUNdue and rolled in crushed nuts and then frozen.
Notes
For a lower fat/calorie version of the Chocolate FUNdue, substitute cannellini beans for some of the nut butter.
