Servings 16
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried figs
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (see notes)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Add the dried figs, cocoa powder and salt to a food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together when pressed, about 15-30 seconds.
- Roll the mixture into 16 little balls using the palm of your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate. You can do this using a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave, add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second increments to avoid burning.
- Drizzle the chocolate on top of each truffle or dip the truffles in chocolate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to harden, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the truffles to a large sealable container and store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Remove the tough little bit of stem from the dried figs if they have them.
To keep this recipe under 15 minutes, simply add a little drizzle of melted chocolate chips and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top. You will only need a few tablespoons of chocolate for this. To make chocolate covered truffles, you will need a little more time and patience. You will need closer to 3/4 cup or 1 cup of chocolate.
You can store the truffles at room temperature, but I prefer to keep them in the fridge or freezer.
