Ingredients:

• 1 pack of thawed Inner Glow Superfoods açaí purée (Buy here: https://www.innerglowsuperfoods.ca/products/frozen-organic-acai-puree)
• ½ cup dates
• 1 cup cacao powder
• a pinch of salt
• Optional: ¼ - ½ cup coconut flour or oat flour if the truffle filling is too wet (will depend on the dryness of your dates)
• ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Place açaí, dates, cacao, and salt in a food processor.
2. If the mixture is still too wet to handle, add coconut or oat flour to the food processor and process until a dough forms.
3. Roll filling into bite-sized balls.
4. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 10 second increments until fully melted and runny.
5. Dip filling into chocolate, remove with a tooth pick, and place on a wax paper-lined tray.
6. Alternatively, place filling balls on wax paper-lined tray and drizzle with chocolate.
7. Place truffles in the freezer for at least 1 hour and serve.
8. If not serving that day, keep in freezer for up to 4 weeks.
