If you like simple nutrition tips and recipes with benefits, you are in the right place!

Over the festive season, it’s better to eat treats with some extra health benefits. Most bought truffles contain high levels of refined sugar or double cream, so I decided to make these with healthy ingredients. This means that they come with benefits- e.g.

Using dates instead of sugar, means that you still get sugar, but you also get the added benefit of fibre, magnesium, potassium, copper, iron and manganese.

raw cacao= fibre, polyphenols, iron, magnesium.

Almonds = protein, magnesium, calcium, vitamin E

chia seeds = fibre, healthy fats, magnesium, calcium.

tahini = calcium, copper, zinc

Brussels Sprout Truffles, makes 24

200g Medjool Dates

175g ground Almonds

30g tahini

50g raw cacao

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla paste

Pinch sea salt

200g white chocolate

1 tablespoon Matcha tea powder

Anweisungen

Put all the truffle ingredients into a food process and process until well combined. You should be able to press it together easily with two fingers. If it is too dry at another dates or 2 to help it stick together,

Roll into 24 balls and put them into the freezer for at least two hours.

Break the white chocolate into squares and melt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Add the matcha powder at the end to give the desired green colour. You could sub this for spirulina powder, for a more blue-green colour.

Allow the chocolate to cool down slightly. If it’s too runny, you will not be able to get the texture of the leaves. Dunk each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to texture the top of each sprout to give them a rough leaf-like texture. The chocolate should be cool enough that it will be a trail.

Pop the truffles into small truffle cases and into a box. These will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Keep in the fridge.
