    No-Bake Chocolate Cake Pops are Healthy Plant-Based Truffles on a Stick

    By Contributed on August 20, 2021 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    True, these No-Bake Chocolate Cake Pops aren’t really “cake.” They’re raw, gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and downright healthy. Each bite is filled with sustainable, snack-worthy nutrients. But they are still treats you can enjoy like cake pops, and they provide sweet satisfaction.  If you don’t have cake pop sticks, have no fear. You can leave them out and savor these balls as energy “truffles.”

    No-Bake Chocolate Cake Pops are Healthy Plant-Based Truffles on a Stick

    This recipe was originally shared with us by Dole, in honor of their Disney Courage and Kindness recipe initiative and Princess Celebration. It was officially called “Te Fiti Fudgy Coco Cake Pops,” and was inspired by the goddess of life in Moana. These treats are natural, made with whole foods, and give energy, or life.

    These “cake pops” as they’re called are great for lunch boxes. But if you are dealing with a nut-free policy, you can substitute the almond flour with sunflower seed flour (ground sunflower seeds) or oat flour. Adjust the moisture level by adding more or less of the flour as needed. These snacks are raw, so you can adjust on the fly! Coconut flour will also work, but you’ll want to use much less of it. Start with just 1/4 cup, and add more if needed.

    If you don't have any cake pop sticks, you can simply freeze these healthy treats and enjoy them as energy "truffles." If your dates aren't soft and fresh, you might want to soak them in hot water for 5 minutes (drain thoroughly and pat dry).
