6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Perfect with tea or after iftar meals.


Pro Tips for Perfect Truffles

Use Soft Dates

Medjool dates work best because they are naturally soft and caramel-like.

Adjust Texture

If too sticky → add more nuts
If too dry → add milk or a bit more honey

Keep Hands Slightly Wet

This prevents sticking while rolling the truffles.

Orange Chocolate Truffles

Add a pinch of orange zest for a refreshing citrus note.
