Date-Sweetened Chocolate Protein Truffles (Freezer-Friendly)

Jump to Recipe

these protein truffles are deeply chocolatey, rich, and not overly sweet.

the center is soft, dense, and almost truffle-like thanks to the dates and almond butter, while the chocolate shell adds a satisfying snap.

straight from the freezer, they’re fudgy and indulgent without tasting heavy.

why these are the perfect freezer treat

• no bake and made entirely in a food processor
• naturally sweetened with dates — no refined sugar
• portion-controlled and protein-packed
• taste like a dessert, eat like a nourishing snack
• ideal for late-night chocolate cravings, postpartum snacks, or a quick energy bite straight from the freezer

new & improved recipe update

this recipe is a new and improved version of one of my older chocolate bite recipes, and it’s better in every way.

instead of using maple syrup, i swapped in whole medjool dates, which not only naturally sweeten these bites but also add fiber and a richer, more fudgy texture.

i also added chocolate protein powder to make them more balanced and satisfying, turning what used to be more of a treat into a true protein-forward freezer snack.

the result is a bite that’s lower on the blood sugar spike, higher in protein, and still tastes completely indulgent. honestly, i don’t think i’ll ever go back to the old version.

substitution options

• protein powder: chocolate plant-based or whey both work; vanilla protein + extra cocoa powder is also great
• almond butter: sub cashew butter or peanut butter for a slightly different flavor profile
• dairy-free milk: any milk works here — almond, oat, or coconut
• chocolate coating: use dark chocolate or date-sweetened chocolate if preferred

storage

store these bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

they can also be kept in the fridge for about 1 week, but the freezer gives the best texture and keeps the chocolate shell perfectly snappyy!
