3-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Fudge Truffles (No Bake, Naturally Sweetened)

I am literally obsessed with these! I could NOT believe how good they tasted!

A naturally sweet, no-bake chocolate treat that actually satisfies you.

If you struggle with late-night sweet cravings, this recipe is for you.

These no-bake chocolate bites are rich, fudgy, and deeply satisfying — but made with just three simple ingredients:

• Medjool dates

• Dutch processed cocoa powder

• Dark chocolate chips

That’s it.

No flour.

No added sugar.

No baking required.

And the texture? Soft, brownie-like, and perfectly chewy.

Why I Love These

As a fitness & nutrition coach, I’m big on finding ways to satisfy cravings without spiraling into overeating.

These work because:

✔️ They’re naturally sweet from dates

✔️ They contain fiber

✔️ They have healthy carbs for energy

✔️ The cocoa gives that deep chocolate flavor

✔️ The dark chocolate adds richness without needing excess sugar

They actually satisfy you instead of making you want more and more.

Benefits of Dates (Yes, They’re Underrated)

Dates often get labeled as “too sugary,” but here’s what people don’t realize:

• They’re a whole food

• They contain fiber (which slows glucose absorption)

• They provide potassium and magnesium

• They support digestion

• They can help stabilize cravings when paired with fat or protein

When blended with cocoa and dark chocolate, you get:

• Natural sweetness

• Slow-release energy

• A treat that feels indulgent without the crash

This is a great option if you’re trying to reduce ultra-processed desserts.

Ingredients

• 12 oz pitted Medjool dates (one full package)

• 1/3–1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder

• 1.5-2 cups dark chocolate chips (melted for dipping)

Optional: pinch of sea salt on top

Directions

1️⃣ Blend the Base

Add the pitted dates to a food processor and blend until they form a thick, sticky paste.

2️⃣ Add Cocoa

Add 1/3–1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder and blend again until fully combined.

You’re looking for a rich, brownie-batter texture — thick, smooth, and slightly sticky but not dry.

If it feels too dry, add 1–2 extra dates and pulse again.

3️⃣ Roll Into Balls

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch each).

Place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray.

4️⃣ Chill to Firm

Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes (or freezer for 10–15 minutes).

This helps them firm up before dipping so they hold their shape.

5️⃣ Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth and glossy.

Do not overheat — slow and steady keeps the chocolate silky.

6️⃣ Dip & Coat

Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing back on parchment.

Optional: sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.

7️⃣ Set the Shell

Return to the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
