Instructions
Line a small baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Put the dates, cashews, walnuts, and coconut in a high-speed blender and process to the consistency of soft dough.
Transfer the date mixture to a medium bowl. Spoon out a heaping tablespoon of the date mixture, and roll it into a ball.
Put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until coated and place on the prepared sheet.
Refrigerate for 1 hour. Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, leftover truffles will keep for about 3 days.
