Energy truffles with Ashwagandha.

Nothing says comfort food like a sweet dessert. After you push your dinner plate to the side, you can pull out these truffles made with ashwagandha and  ojas building dates. They’re sure to make you and your adrenals smile.

Ingredients:

• 10 dates, dried and pitted
• 2 teaspoons ashwagandha powder
• ½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, refined
• Sea salt and sesame seeds for topping

Directions:

Using a blender or food processor, blend the dates and ashwagandha into a paste. Roll into small balls. If too sticky to shape, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat. Stir frequently. Dunk the date balls into the chocolate to coat, and rescue with a spoon. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt and sesame seeds. Refrigerate or freeze to set chocolate. Eat while slightly chilled to avoid melting.
