OMG - Spiked ; ) Almond Cherry Trufles

These little treats are a continuation of the No-Bake phase I am currently in, due to the hot and humid weather. They are unbelievably delicious. Coincidentally, they happen to have no saturated fat and a high concentration of polyunsaturated fats. They also contain a good amount of fiber and magnesium. Oh, and did I mention the Amaretto ; )


Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup dried dates
1/2 cup dried cherries
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1-2 tbsp Amaretto

Method
In a food processor grind almonds into a fine powder. Add dates and blend until smooth. Add cherries and blend until smooth. Add cocoa powder and Amaretto and blend until incorporated.
Remove "dough" from bowl and roll tightly into truffle size balls. Chillfor at least 30min before serving. Enjoy!
Will keep for 1 week in fridge.
