  2. Add in the dates, cacao powder and coconut oil and combine in the food processor to make a smooth paste.
  3. Take small amounts of the paste and roll in your hands to make small(ish) truffles.
  4. After placing your desiccated coconut or chopped almonds in a bowl, roll each truffle around until fully coated.
  5. Pop them in the fridge to set, before devouring the whole lot!
