About These Tasty Carob Truffles
Sofia can almost knock these up on her own, I only do the blending part and the eating part. If ground poppy seeds are hard to find, use black sesame seeds or chia seeds as they will give a similar appearance and texture.
Between me and you, I am a bit bored with all the date, nuts and cacao energy balls, so this is a slightly different version.
Ingredients
- Carob - This carob truffles recipe is completely chocolate free, using the much underrated and underused carob. Of course, if you want you can use cacao, but carob has a slightly caramelly and sweet flavour, so I prefer it. I personally think carob and dried fruit make up an amazing truffle!
- Soft Prunes - They are just a dream and make these truffles truly indulgent. If your prunes are very dry put them in a small bowl and cover with boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Walnuts - If you don't have any walnuts in your cupboard, pecans or almonds are my go-to sub for walnuts.
- Poppy Seeds - You have to use ground poppy seeds, otherwise these truffles will be very crunchy 🙂 You can use your food processor or even a coffee grinder and do it in smaller batches.
How to Store and Freeze These Carob Truffles
- To Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or at room temperature for 1 week.
- To Freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer-safe storage container. Set out at room temperature for a few minutes prior to serving.
