A few weeks ago, my husband made some amazing pumpkin enchiladas. They had a pistachio dust on top. Well he ground up too many pistachios and I have been wondering what to do with them ever since. So I decided to make chocolate pistachio truffles.
These chocolate pistachio truffles remind me of chocolate ganache. They simply melt in your mouth. I think it is due to the pecan butter I added. If you haven’t tried pecan butter, you need to! Amazing stuff. There are dates in these chocolate pecan truffles, but I honestly can’t even taste or detect them at all. This easy dessert can be made in a matter of minutes. Vegan, gluten free and grain free. 🙂

- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In the food processor or blender , combine the pecan butter and dark chocolate.
- Once they are mixed well, add in the dates and salt and mix until well combined.
- A ball of dough will form.
- Spread your chopped pistachios onto a plate.
- Roll the dough into balls, then roll the balls through the chopped pistachios.
- Once that is done, place the balls on a lined baking sheet .
- Once all the balls are done, stick the baking sheet into the fridge to firm up.
