Almond coconut truffles


Ingredients:
Almonds                                 - 1 cup
Dates                                      - 8 -10 (depending on the level of sweetness)
Cocoa powder(unsweetened) - 1/2 tsp
Dry coconut flakes                 - 2 tbsps
Almond milk                           - 1 -2  tbsps*
Ghee(clarified butter)              - 1 tsp
salt                                           - a small pinch(1/4 tsp or less)

*Can substitute with any other milk.

Directions:
Soak the dates overnight in the almond milk or in water.
Toast the almonds and grind it to a powder.Mix the salt and cocoa powder to the powdered almonds.
Chop the soaked dates or if you prefer cook it for a couple of minutes.
Blend the dates with almond mix using the milk and ghee with your hands. Roll them into small balls. 
Spread the coconut flakes on a plate and roll the balls on this plate to get a coating on them. I got 10 small truffles.
Ghee could be substituted with oil of your choice(though ghee gives a nice flavour to the truffles).
