Recipe: Aduki bean truffles

Ingredients:
¾ Cup Cooked Aduki Beans
1 ½  Cup Desiccated Coconut
3 Tbsp. Cashew Nut Butter
¼ Cup Raw Cocoa Powder
15 madjool dates
1 Pinch of Sea Salt
Raw Cocoa Powder for outer dusting

 

Method:
If you are going to cook your beans from scratch then put 1/2 cup azuki beans in a deep pot or pressure cooker and cover with 3 cups of water and a little square of Kombu sea-weed.  Bring to a boil and cook until soft

Once done, drain the beans and put in the food processor. – keep the juice from the beans and drink it. It’s a really nourishing tea that will strengthen your kidneys, balance your blood sugars and detoxify your whole body.

Add remaining ingredients and whizz everything together to get a good thick paste.  It should be thick enough to form the truffles.

With slightly wet hands form the truffles so that they are approx. 1inch diameter and make individual balls.  Continue until all the batter is used up.

Put in the fridge or freezer to set for at least 30min but ideally an hour.

Once done take out and dust each ball in cocoa powder
