Now I know that some of the ingredients in this recipe are not that common but if you find them, do try them out. They are so decadent and moreish. If you cannot find the seeds, you can use ground almonds instead but I cannot assure the outcome because I have never tried it that way I'm afraid! These treats are highly nutritious as well as flaxseed, hemp seed and sesame seeds are packed with nutritive value. They are also suitable for a vegan and/or a vegetarian diet. I know I am a meat-eater myself but it is incredible how much variation of diets and food variations there are out there. Since we were younger we were always exposed to various diets and always tried new foods from every corner of the world. The recent craze about seeds and raw food is definitely not new to myself but I love learning about new diets and options that before where maybe laughed at or frowned upon. But do be adventurous in your kitchen, after all, some great recipes were created by accident!! I also added 2 long pepper to add a certain kick (feel free to click on the link to find out about this great spice) but you can leave it out if cannot find it or even throw in a couple of black peppercorns! So feel free to try these delicious truffles. For 12 truffles you will need...
- 2 tbsp hemp seed
- 2 tbsp flax seed (linseed)
- 2 tbsp sesame seed
- 2 long pepper (optional)
- 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp water
- Desiccated coconut, to coat
How to...
- Put hemp seed, flax seed, sesame seed and long pepper in a spice grinder or food processor and grind to a fine powder. Put in a mixing bowl, add rest of the ingredients and mix well until well combined.
- Form the ‘dough’ into small balls and roll into the coconut.
- Put on a plate with some baking paper and put into the freezer for 20 minutes. Alternatively put in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. Serve.
Enjoy!!
