Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted dates
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place the pitted dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the almonds, pecans, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor with the date paste. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and holds together when pressed, but still retains some texture.
Scoop out roughly 1-tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls using your palms.
Place the shredded coconut on a plate, and roll each ball in the coconut until fully coated.
Arrange the Date Snow Balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage.
