Quadruple Seed Peanut Butter Coconut Truffles are a great dessert choice without any added sugar. Experiment in using some of these ingredients in your cupcakes and cakes!

Serves: 15

1 cup unsweetened chocolate coconut milk beverage (regular would work also)
12 medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup smooth natural, unsalted peanut butter
1/2 cup natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup unhulled sesame seeds
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup chopped unsweetened dried cherries
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest (use an organic orange)
1/4 cup coconut flour
additional coconut flour or ground nuts

In a blender, combine the coconut milk, dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder and chia seeds. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Scrape seeds from vanilla bean pod with a dull knife. In a large bowl, combine vanilla seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cherries, orange zest and coconut flour. Stir in the blended date mixture.

Using your hands, form a big ball and then create smaller truffle-sized balls by rolling about 1 tablespoon of the dough in the palm of your hands.

If desired, roll balls in coconut flour and/or ground nuts. Makes approximately 30 bite-sized truffles.
