2 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
⅛ tsp ground ginger

Instructions
-
Make the Cashew Filling:
In a blender, combine soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Blend until silky smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. -
Prepare the Carrot Base:
In a food processor, pulse the oats until they form a coarse flour. Add the carrots, dates, almond butter, shredded coconut, vanilla, and spices. Blend until a sticky dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water. -
Shape the Truffles:
Scoop 1 tablespoon of the carrot mixture and flatten it in your palm. Add ½ teaspoon of the cashew filling in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling and roll into a ball. -
Optional Coating:
Roll each ball in shredded coconut or dip in melted white chocolate (for a treat-style version). Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Chill & Set:
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour to firm up. Store in the fridge or freezer for long-term snacking!
