Instructions
- Place prunes in a food processor or high speed blender and pulse until smooth. If your prunes are hard, you may need to soak them for 1-2 hours in water and heat them just a bit until soft.
- In a double boiler melt the cacao paste.
- Add the cacao paste and vanilla extract to the prunes and pulse to combine ingredients.
- Roll the mixture into 1" balls then chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- To make the chocolate shell, melt the cacao butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler until smooth.
- Remore truffles from the freezer and dip each one, one at the time in the melted chocolate and place them in a pan lined with parchment paper.
- Place truffles in the fridge for just 10 minutes so the chocolate hardens and then store at room temperature.
