HEALTHY MILK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES ...
based on Dr. Michael Greger's Dark Chocolate Truffles recipe
from his HOW NOT TO DIE COOKBOOK
My friends love my Milk Chocolate Truffles - based on Dr. Greger's recipe - so I promised to make a video on how to make them.
2 teacups of Cashew Nuts (unsalted - 2 x 150g bags)
14 Medjool dates
12 tablespoons of almonds (200g bag)
1 teacup of Cocoa (1 packet of Organic Coco powder)
WASH YOUR HANDS
STEP 1 - SOAK CASHEW NUTS
Measure 2 teacups of unsalted Cashew Nuts and place in a bowl. Add boiling hot water (distilled water if possible). Cover with a plate.
Soak Cashew Nuts for 3-4 hours. I usually drain the Cashew Nuts after 3 hours, and place in the fridge overnight.
STEP 2 - GRID/BLEND ALMONDS
Measure 14 tablespoons of Almonds, and place in a blender (grinder). Grind into a fine Almond Powder. Place the dried ingredients into a bowl.
Now place the remaining Almonds from the 200g bag, into the blender. Grid into a fine powder.
Place in a separate container.
STEP 3 - COCOA
1 cup of Cocoa fine powder (organic if possible). Place in the bowl with the Almond powder. And mix well.
STEP 4 - SOAK MEDJOOL DATES
Sieve the Medjool Dates and drain the water. Cut the Dates open to remove the pips and place them in the blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
STEP 5 - BLEND CASHEW NUTS
Place the Cashew Nuts into the blender and keep blending until you have a smooth creamy paste. Add the Cashew Nut paste to the Almond and Cocoa powder.
STEP 6 - NOW TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY
Wash your hands, and dry well.
Similar technique as bread kneading. Keep kneading the mixture until you form a big ball.
Make small to medium sized balls and place in a container.
Now roll the small balls in the ground up almond powder.
Place the Milk Chocolate Truffles into a container, and store in the fridge. We tend to eat our Truffles within 4-5 days. I personally, would not store them in the fridge for longer. But do your research!
Sadly, my video on how to make Healthy Milk Chocolate Truffles did not turn out very well. I will have to try again!
The video did not record the whole process. Typical. But then it is a cheap camcorder. Never mind I will have to try again when the boat comes in and I have a better camcorder.
