Chocolate Prune Truffles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup prune, pitted
3/4 cup tart cherry juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup 73% dark chocolate, melted over very low heat
3/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Preparation

Place prunes in a bowl and cover with cherry juice.
Soak for 1-2 hours.
If your prunes are hard, not juicy, you may need to heat them just a bit in the cherry juice until soft.
Place prunes and juice in food processor and pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Pulse in vanilla, then melted chocolate.
Scrape mixture into a bowl and place in freezer for 30-45 minutes, until almost smooth.
Remove from freezer, and roll into 1″ balls in palm of hand.
Roll in coconut to coat.
Serve.
