Healthy Chocolate Truffles

Made with just two ingredients, these healthy chocolate truffles taste delicious and decadent. Small bites to satisfy your sweet tooth. Thank you to Earth Echo Foods for sponsoring this recipe. All opinions are mine alone.

Earth Echo Foods approached me to create a recipe for them with their Cacao Bliss Superfood Elixir Blend. They sent me a couple of free packages to try. I first started to enjoy a scoop in my morning coffee. It turns my regular coffee into a mocha. While also helping to support my mental focus, boost my energy and reduce cravings. I can honestly say it works. I’ve been very happy with this ‘new to me’ product!

When thinking about a recipe to create with the Cacao Bliss, I pretty easily landed on truffles. I remembered back when I was feeding baby food to my son. I used to call baby food prunes “chocolate fruit”. Dried prunes seemed like an obvious choice to mix with the Cacao Bliss to create a healthy chocolate truffle.

Why this recipe works

I was honestly amazed at how well this recipe works! A food processor is necessary for this recipe. I used it to grind both the freeze dried raspberries and pistachios first. These are optional ingredients. But especially at the holidays, they provide such a festive coloring to the finished truffles. These truffle treats have a deep, dark chocolate flavor.

The truffles have a sticky consistency. So they need to be coated with something – be it more Cacao Bliss powder, or your choice of ground nuts, coconut or other freeze-dried fruit.

The food processor makes quick work of combining the dried prunes and chocolatey Cacao Bliss powder into a smooth ball. After chilling for a bit in the fridge, roll into small truffle balls. Coat as desired. And then give as gifts or indulge in them yourself at home.

Ingredients for healthy chocolate truffles

• Earth Echo Foods Cacao Bliss – This Superfood Elixir Blend can be added to your daily routine in smoothies, hot drinks, and delicious desserts like these Healthy Chocolate Truffles.
• Dried Prunes – Prunes are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Use one 8-ounce pouch for each batch of truffles. I prefer this brand.
• Freeze Dried Raspberries – Grind them in your food processor to make a pretty pink coating for your truffles.
• Pistachios – Use a no shells, roasted and salted variety like these.

Instructions for making healthy chocolate truffles

1. If using, grind the freeze dried raspberries in your food processor. Place them in a shallow bowl. Rinse your food processor bowl before continuing.
2. If using, grind the pistachios in your food processor. Place them in a shallow bowl. Again, rinse your food processor bowl before continuing.
3. Add one 8-ounce pouch of dried prunes to your clean food processor.
4. Add 8 scoops (or about 3/4 cup) of the Earth Echo Foods Cacao Bliss powder to the food processor.
5. Close and mix on low until the prunes and cacao bliss have completely combined into a neat ball.
6. Transfer the chocolate dough mixture to a small bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
7. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to divide the mixture evenly.
8. Lightly roll the mixture into about 16-18 truffles.
9. Coat each truffle in the freeze dried raspberries, pistachios or more of the Cacao Bliss.

Pro Tips

• The truffle mixture is easier to work with when cold. The warmer it gets, the more it will stick to your hands and be messy.
• Wear food prep gloves like these when you are rolling the truffles to help contain the mess.
• A small cookie scoop is helpful to divide the mixture evenly.
