How to Prepare Pistachio Chocolate Truffles [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a food processor, place your pistachios and grind them into small pieces. Pour them out into a container and set aside.
After, combine the dates, syrup, oil, coconut, rum, and cocoa powder in the food processor. Puree until smooth.
Using a cookie scoop, take dollops of the truffle batter and roll them around in the pistachios. Repeat this with all of the batter. Place finished truffles on a plate or parchment paper. Stick the truffles in the freezer for an hour to set.
For softer, chewier truffles, transfer them to the fridge after they set. You will not believe how delicious these truffles are!
