Chickpea Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

chickpeas

dates

dry hazelnuts

100 g dark chocolate (85 % cacao)

g coconut cream (the thickened coconut cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk)

100 g dark chocolate (85 % cacao) (for dipping)

Melt chocolate over low heat in a medium pot. Set aside.

Melt coconut cream on low heat in a medium pot. Stir until smooth.

Drain dates and squeeze out any excess water and place them into a high-speed blender. Add chickpeas and melted coconut cream, and blend until you get a smooth paste.

Transfer the paste to a bowl. Add in melted chocolate and ground peanuts and stir until all is well combined (or use a hand mixer). Adjust sweetness by adding 1 tablespoon agave if necessary.

Place the truffle mixture into the fridge overnight.

In the morning, scoop out portions of the mixture with a teaspoon and roll them into balls with your hands. Try to roll them as quickly as possible. If you don’t get perfect bowls the first time, place them into the fridge again, for about an hour or two. Roll them again with your hands to make a perfect ball.

Dip the balls in chocolate or toss them in cacao powder to coat.

Store in the fridge.

Chickpea Meatballs

(246 grams) canned chickpeas (,(equivalent

½ medium (70 grams) onion

garlic (, (3 = very garlicky))

ketchup

nutritional yeast (,

Italian seasoning

paprika

fine sea salt

black pepper

(70 grams) Panko bread crumbs

olive oil (,

Drain the chickpeas and add them and everything else except the oil to a food processor. Process until smooth.

Remove the blade, rub some olive oil on your hands then scoop out about 1½ tablespoons of mixture per ball (I use a medium cookie scoop) and roll into balls. The olive oil on your hands stops the mixture sticking to your fingers and makes the balls look smoother and neater. If you&#39;re oil-free use slightly damp hands. Place them on a plate or baking tray as you go.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil in it. Add the chickpea balls and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, moving them around frequently until golden on all sides.

To fry

Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

To oven bake

Place the chickpea balls in your air fryer. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 14 minutes or until golden. The cook time will vary depending on your brand of air fryer so keep a close eye on them.
