Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make these irresistible Ferrero Fudge Truffles:
- 10 scoops (250g) of Seed Cycle Brownie Mix
- 1/2 cup of Remedy Omega Porridge
- 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of dates
- 1/4 cup of hot water
- 1 cup of hazelnuts
- 250 grams of quality chocolate for coating
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Date Paste
- Soak the Dates: Place the dates in a bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
- Blend into a Paste: After soaking, blend the dates and water into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
Step 2: Make the Fudge Base
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Seed Cycle Brownie Mix and Remedy Omega Porridge.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil and the date paste to the dry ingredients. Mix well until everything is fully combined and you have a thick, fudge-like consistency.
Step 3: Incorporate the Hazelnuts
- Chop the Hazelnuts: Roughly chop the hazelnuts, keeping some whole for the center of the truffles if desired.
- Mix In: Fold the chopped hazelnuts into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Shape the Truffles
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the fudge mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place a whole hazelnut in the center of each ball if desired.
- Chill: Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 5: Coat in Chocolate
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the quality chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Coating: Once all the truffles are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Understanding Sugar Cravings and Hormonal Health
Sugar Cravings in the Luteal Phase
Sugar cravings are particularly common during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, which occurs after ovulation and before menstruation. During this phase, hormone levels fluctuate significantly:
- Progesterone Increase: Progesterone levels rise, which can lead to increased appetite and cravings, especially for sweet and high-carbohydrate foods.
- Serotonin Drop: Serotonin levels can drop, making you feel less happy and more prone to cravings for comfort foods that provide a quick energy boost and mood lift.
Opting for Natural Sugars
Choosing natural forms of sugar, like those found in dates, honey, fruit and rapadura sugar, over ultra-processed sugars can help manage these cravings more healthily:
- Sustained Energy: Natural sugars provide a more gradual release of energy, helping you feel satisfied longer without the rapid spikes and crashes associated with processed sugars.
- Nutrient-Rich: Natural sweeteners like dates come with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which can aid digestion and support overall health.
- Reduced Inflammation: Unlike processed sugars, which can cause inflammation and negatively impact hormone balance, natural sugars are less likely to contribute to these issues.
The Power of Homemade Treats
There's something incredibly satisfying about making your own treats from scratch. Not only do you get to control the quality of ingredients, but you also get to enjoy the process of creating something special. Plus, homemade treats always taste better because they're made with love!
