Method

  1. Process Base: Blend the pitted Medjool dates and warm water in a food processor until a thick paste forms.

  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the pea protein powder, chia seeds, ground cardamom, and half the chopped pistachios to the processor bowl.

  3. Form Truffles: Pulse until a cohesive dough forms, then roll the mixture into eight even bite-sized balls.

  4. Garnish: Roll each truffle in the remaining chopped pistachios to coat completely, then chill before serving.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: Soluble fibre from chia seeds and dates slows glucose release, working alongside plant protein to optimize satiety and silence food noise during GLP-1 journeys. Culinary Hack: Soak the dates in boiling water for five minutes if they feel dry to ensure a perfectly smooth, sticky binding paste.
