News 7 Mornin’ reported live Friday morning from Roanoke Natural Food Co-Op. The Co-Op is offering a series of four raw food prep classes. Instructor Heidi Garrabrant offered these recipes on the newscast.
Chocolate Truffles
1 cup almonds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup sesame seeds
1 cup shredded coconut
¾ cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup raw cocoa powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
In a food processor, finely grind the almonds. Add the sunflower and sesame seeds and continue to process until powder-like. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients into a dough. Form into small balls, rolling truffles in extra cocoa powder or coconut if desired. Chill for a more solid consistency.
