No Bake Pistachio Truffles {3 Ingredients}
These 3 ingredient pistachio truffles are the perfect nutrient dense treat! They are packed with the creamy pistachio taste and sweetness from the dates. I can't wait for you to indulge in these gluten free and vegan treats!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pistachios unshelled lightly salted
- 1 cup medjool dates pitted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips melted
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground flax
- 1/4 cup protein powder plain
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Blend pitted dates and pistachios in a food processor.
- Add protein powder and ground flax seeds here if using any. If the batter is too dry and crumbling, slowly add 1 – 2tbsp water or nut milk.
- Continue to blend until it forms into a gooey blob. It may be completely smooth because the pistachios are roasted/salted instead of soaked cashews like my other no bake energy balls.
- The dates should be well blended in (this is what creates the gooey and sticky texture).
- Scoop into balls and roll them. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat ½ cup of your favorite dark chocolate for 30 – 45 seconds. Add 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional) for the ultimate smooth bite. Only using dark chocolate shell could crack easily (I mean which is also fine). Let it cool slightly, about 1 minute.
- Dip each ball in, coat all the way around.
- Sprinkle more crushed pistachios on top.
- Freeze for another 20 minutes and enjoy!
