Steps
To make the date and almond truffles, toast the peeled almonds in a preheated oven at 392°F until golden, or in an air fryer at 392°F for about 10 minutes.
In a blender bowl, add the dates and cocoa, and blend everything until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Coarsely chop the almonds and add them to the date and cocoa mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Then, take a little of the mixture with your hands, or with the help of a teaspoon, and form balls the size of a walnut, or the desired size.
Place the balls on a tray lined with baking paper. Once the mixture is finished, roll each ball in grated coconut.
Place the truffles in the refrigerator and serve as needed. Enjoy!
