- Soak the chia seeds in the orange juice for at least 10 minutes to allow them to swell and create a gel-like consistency.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the almonds for a smoother texture in your truffles.
- Make sure your dates are pitted and soft; if they are too dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes before using.
- Finely grate the orange zest to avoid large chunks in the truffles.
- Melt the dark chocolate slowly over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts to prevent burning.
- Roll the truffles in extra cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or finely chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week.
