Raw coco-choco truffles

soft truffles with coconut, cacao and almond paste

Ingredients: 

• 2 tbsp shredded coconut
• 1 tbsp cocoa
• 3/8 cup almond paste left from almond milk making
• 5 pitted dates
• 1 tsp maple or agave syrup

...to cover..

• shredded coconut as needed

Method:

1. blend all ingredients together
2. handle little amount of dought and roll between palms to make little balls
3. into a little dish (I used a jar plug) pour some shredded coconut and dip thereinside one ball by one, assuring all its surface to be covered of coconut flakes
4. carefully put them into a airtight container and store in the fridge or even in the freezer

These bites have a really soft and enfolding texture; The coconut, besides, give to them such a freshness due to which you won't be able to stob eating them and, as it happened to me, they will be eaten in ten minutes or so, without even the time to put them into the fridge ;)

I hope you'll have more self-control than I have, let me know what end will your truffles have to face, I'll be back soon, kisses,

Raw nutella bites

Raw bites

nutella tasting

...There's nothing better than getting satisfaction by your actions!

Yesterday, late in the afternoon, getting into the blog I felt very satisfied in seeing how, in only four days, my blog visualisations overcame the number of 100, with 30 visualisations only yesterday.

This wouldn't be appened if you, in your own little, hadn't decided to enter the blog and browse his pages, by chance or by real interest... Thank you very much, please continue like you're doing now!! 

In the meantime, I want to propose you a cheer, looking similar to creamy and crunchy cocoa mini bites (http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2013/12/creamy-and-crunchy-cocoa-raw-mini-bites.html ) but with nutty and cocoa flafour which, mixed together, combine to make you relive the pleasure of beloved nutella, that for many is now just a dream or a memory. These bites I wanna propose you also can bring to mind the taste of delicious Ferrero Rocher... who had the oportunity to taste them, will always remember them for their creaminess and crunchiness, and also for their marvelous taste of hazelnuts and cocoa. Here's how to prepare them:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup (about 85g) shelled hazelnuts
• 4 tightly pitted dates
• 1 full tbsp cocoa

Method:

1. using a mixer, whisk together hazelnuts and cocoa
2. add chopped up pitted dates and whisk again
3. roll between palms the mixture to create bites as big as you prefer

They are great ith vegetable mik ( http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2014/01/raw-vegan-walnut-milk.html ), with a raw-coconut yoghurt, with raw vegan banana ice-cream (http://rawvogliadivita.blogspot.it/2014/01/raw-vegan-banana-ice-cream-garnished.html) , with many others combinations and also eaten without anithing else!! Now it is up to your ikagination how to make up the dish and how to serve. I arranged it like this:
