Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl and cover with warm water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky, well-combined dough-like consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a couple of times to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all of the dough is used up.
Spread the shredded coconut on a plate or shallow bowl. Roll each chocolate ball in the coconut to coat it evenly.
Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
