It’s a Ramadan special delight — a rich date and chocolate combination that’s not only loved by kids but also gets them excited to help out preparing for Iftaar. The bonus? It’s super quick and easy to make!
Ingredients #
- Medjool dates (or any other soft dates) – 4 large
- Almond powder (ground almonds) – 200g
- Honey – 1 tbsp
- Coconut oil – 1 tsp
- Cinnamon powder – ½ tsp
- Vanilla – ¼ tsp
- Salt – a pinch
- Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp (plus extra for rolling)
Recipe #
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a sticky paste forms.
(Add a teaspoon of water if the mixture is too stiff.) - Scoop small amounts and roll into small balls using your hands.
- Place the truffles in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Roll the truffles lightly in cocoa powder before serving.
Note: Be cautious with the cocoa powder — too much can make them bitter (lesson learned!).
Perfect for a quick Iftaar treat, or as a sweet bite any time of the day during Ramadan.
