No Bake Chocolate Truffle Brownie Bites (vegan, dairy-free, GF, hormone-balancing)
Ingredients
Brownie bottom
- 1 cup dates soaked overnight, pitted
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- 1/3 cup coconut cream (the solids from one chilled coconut milk can, full-fat)
- pinch of himalayan salt
Truffle top
- 1/2 cup cacao powder soaked overnight
- 1/4 cup cashew butter
- 3 medium avocados, soft
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp maca powder
- pinch of himalayan salt
Instructions
Soak the dates in water overnight. Next day, drain and rinse both.
Insert mini paper cups in a 12 mini-cupcake pan.
Blend or process all the brownie bottom ingredients until combined into a sticky texture. Add more flour if batter feels too sticky. Variations occur depending on residual moisture and size of your dates.
When you are happy with texture, press the brownie mixture into the bottom of the cups, filling it about 1/3.
- Blend or process all the truffle top ingredients until combined into a smooth batter. It should be pourable, like VERY thick cake batter. When you pour the truffle onto the brownie, you want it to finish in a mound, not flat like a liquid.
If your batter is too liquidy, add a tbsp more cacao powder.
If your batter is too stiff, drizzle in a bit of the coconut milk from the can that produced the coconut cream solids. But don't add too much.
Fill the cups with the filling and freeze for 3 hours or until the top truffle is set.
Store in refrigerator. To serve, thaw and dust with cacao powder.

Hi Janine! Yes, if you want the zucchini to disappear however you need to spiralize thin, and even peel if you really don’t want green specks. And yes try the date paste! It’s so convenient, it keeps at least a week in the frig for me. Have a lovely Friday too! Dee xx.
