Cherry and Quinoa Truffles

If you’re after a sweet little bite that feels indulgent yet wholesome, these Cherry and Quinoa Truffles are a perfect choice. They bring together the tartness of cherries, the nuttiness of quinoa, and the creaminess of cashews for a snack that works any time of the day. Whether you need a mid-afternoon lift, a light dessert, or something to share with friends, you’re going to love how satisfying and simple these truffles are.

Easy Steps to Roll

  1. Add quinoa, cherries, cashews, coconut, honey or agave, and coconut flour to a food processor.

  2. Blend until the mixture forms a soft dough that holds together.

  3. Roll spoonfuls into truffle-sized balls.

  4. Coat each ball lightly in extra coconut for a delicate finish.

  5. Store in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer.

Why These Truffles Shine

Cherries are naturally rich in plant compounds that give them their vibrant colour and tangy flavour. Quinoa adds a gentle nutty note along with plant-based protein and fibre, making these truffles a more satisfying snack than your average sweet treat. Cashews bring a creamy texture and contribute healthy fats that help balance the flavours.

A Treat Worth Sharing

These truffles are lovely to enjoy on your own or to bring along when you need a plate to share. Keep a batch in the fridge for busy weeks, or freeze some for a ready-made option that will brighten your day. For more simple wholefood recipes, explore our Recipe Hub.
