Delicious Chickpea Truffles Everyone Will Love

Start by soaking the dried chickpeas in water for about 8 hours. This will help to soften them and make them easier to cook. Once soaked, drain the water and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.

Next, place the rinsed chickpeas in a pot and cover them with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chickpeas are soft, which usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

If you want a richer flavor in your truffles, consider toasting the walnuts. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the walnuts. Toast them for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until they reach a light golden color.

In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, walnuts, and pitted dates. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. You should be able to form this mixture into a sticky dough.

Once your mixture is smooth, add the cocoa powder to the blender. Blend again until the cocoa is thoroughly mixed in and the mixture takes on a rich chocolate flavor.

Now it's time to form the truffles! You can either roll the mixture into small balls or press it into silicone molds for a fun shape. If you prefer a cool treat, pop these in the freezer for a couple of hours and enjoy them frozen for a delightful snack.
