Trufe cu cartof dulce / Sweet potato truffles

Daca vreti sa le oferiti celor mici un desert cu ciocolata, dar fara cacao (sa nu ii agite) care sa fie si hranitor si gustos, am eu o idee buna :) Aceste trufe cu cartof dulce si carob sunt indulcite natural si arata fix ca niste trufe cu ciocolata din comert :) Contin vitamina A, vitamina C, calciu, Omega 3, proteine si minerale, sunt ca niste bombite dragalase de sanatate :)

Ingrediente (22 de buc):

• 350g cartof dulce (280g decojit)
• 100g nuca macinata
• 80g curmale fara samburi
• 1-2 lg miere (optional, dupa gust)
• 40g carob
• 1/2 lgt scortisoara
• 1/4 lgt extract de vanilie
• Topping, la alegere: carob, seminte de susan, nuca macinata, fulgi de cocos

Decojim cartoful dulce si il taiem bucati maricele pe care le fierbem pana intra usor furculita in ele. Macinam nuca, iar daca folositi curmale care sunt foarte tari, hidratati-le 1 ora inainte.

Introducem in blender/robotul de bucatarie: cartoful dulce fiert, curmalele, mierea, nuca, vanilia, scortisoara. Mixam bine pana obtinem o delicioasa sarlota de ciocolata :) O punem intr-un castron si o introducem in congelator 30-60 de min, pana se intareste putin.

ENGLISH VERSION

If you want to offer your little ones a chocolate treat, but without the cocoa that agitates them, I’ve got a great and nutritious recipe for you :) These sweet potato carob truffles are naturally sweetened and look just like store bought truffles :) They are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, Omega 3, protein and minerals, they are just like small super healthy balls :)

Ingredients (22 pcs):

• 350 g sweet potato (280 g after peeling)
• 100 g ground walnuts
• 80 g pitted dates
• 1-2 tbsp honey (optional, to taste)
• 40 g carob
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• Topping, of choice: carob, sesame seeds, ground walnuts, desiccated coconut

Peel the sweet potato, roughly chop it and boil it until tender (a fork penetrates it easily)/ Grind the walnuts. If the dates are hard, soak them for about 1 hour.

Place the following into the high speed blender/food processor: boiled sweet potato, honey, walnuts, vanilla, cinnamon. Blend well until you get a wonderful chocolate cream :) Place it in a bowl and put it in the freezer for 30-60 min, to harden a little.

Mold small balls and roll them into the desired topping: I used sesame seeds, carob, desiccated coconut, ground walnuts. Super tasty and cute:) Store in the fridge.
