Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups (3 medium) carrots roughly chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 cups walnuts or sunflower seeds to make them nut-free
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 5 (1/2 cup) Medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 bar (80 g) vegan white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients except for white chocolate to a food processor and pulse until you get a sticky crumbly mix.
  • Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to scoop out the dough and roll into balls between the palms of your hands. Chill the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes or longer to firm up.
  • Break up the white chocolate into small chunks and add it to a small heat-proof bowl. Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water and cover with a lid until melted. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil (or more) if necessary (depending on the type of chocolate used) to get a smooth pourable texture. Let it cool down for 5 minutes.
  • Take out the carrot cake balls from the freezer, dip them in the melted white chocolate and place on a parchment paper-lined dish. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes or longer until the chocolate is set. Enjoy and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

If you’d like to freeze these white chocolate truffles, first spread them onto a baking sheet at equal distances, making sure no two balls are touching. Place the sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the truffles are solid. Transfer the truffles to an airtight container or a resealable bag. Press out as much air as possible, seal, and freeze for up to 3 months.
