Servings12 truffles

8 cardamom pods
½ cup tigernut flour
½ cup coconut milk powder
1 orange zest the entire orange for the coating, then juice half and use 2 Tablespoons juice for the truffles.
½ cup date pitted

First prepare the cardamom pods. On a cutting board, press the pods with the flat edge of a knife to crack. Collect the seeds to be used in the recipe, and discard the pod.
In blender, combine the cardamom seeds, tigernut flour, and coconut powder. Pulse a few times until mixed well. Then, add 2 Tbsp of fresh orange juice and the dates one at a time while pulsing the blender until dough-like consistency form.
Scoop out about a tablespoon or so of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough. Set aside.
On a cutting board lay out desiccated coconut, top with the zest of the orange, and use your hands to mix well then lay out flat again.
Roll one truffle at a time in the coconut/zest mixture until fully coated. Repeat until all are coated. Enjoy!
