- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

- 10 g coconut oil - or butter if you can tolerate it
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients, apart from the chocolate into a mini food processor (or 'normal' one if that is all you have). Whizz until you have a smooth paste. You may have to stop and start a lot and scrape down the sides to achieve this
- Place the mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes (this make it easier to handle)

- Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the chocolate shell
- Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut oil.
- Either place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or into the microwave, to melt the mixture together. If you are using a microwave, melt the chocolate slowly (15 seconds at a time between stirs) or it will burn
- Remove the truffles from the freezer and roll them in the melted chocolate mixture
- Place on a plate and refrigerate until set and ready to eat
