In the food processor, combine all the ingredients for the pumpkin cream and process until smooth.
Place in the fridge for about an hour or until the mixture is chilled and easy to work with. Roll the mixture into ball or scoop onto each cookie.
In a bowl gently melt the chocolate ingredients. Once the chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over each truffle and top with a sprinkle of ground turmeric. Place in the fridge to firm up for half an hour.

Goji & Sesame Almond Joy Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup almond meal
1 cup finely shredded coconut
2 – 2.5 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp coconut butter
1 heaping tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp filtered water
juice of 1/2 lime
seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean
1 tsp ground cinnamon
dash nutmeg
pinch salt

Combine all the ingredients (except whole almond) in the food processor and process until well combined (stick together).

1/2 cup whole almond, soaked

Add whole almond and pulse a few times. You could keep it more or less crunchy – it’s really up to you.

1/3 cup goji berry

soak them in filtered water about 5 minutes, drain well and dry them properly with a paper towel before using
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Remove mixture from food processor and pour into a large bowl. Next add in the goji berries and sesame seeds mix together with your hands. Let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Form into a loaf; roll flat with a rolling pin; then use cookie cutters or knife to make the shape. Place cookies in an airtight container on a sheet of baking paper.
For the best result, let sit them in the fridge overnight to firm. Store in the fridge.

Notes:
You can add some extra seeds or cacao nibs on top if you like. If you want to make something look more fancy dip them in melted chocolate. Place the bars in the freezer about 20 minutes, I find much easier and faster to work with them after freezing. It will take only a few seconds for the chocolate coating to set
