Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Raw cacao powder
- 1 quarter cup Dried unsweetened cranberries
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut (for coating)
Instructions
Prepare your food processor. Add the pitted Medjool dates and raw almonds to the processor and pulse a few times to break them into smaller pieces.
Add the raw cacao powder, dried cranberries, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the food processor.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky and cohesive dough. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Using clean hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a smooth ball between your palms. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
Place the shredded unsweetened coconut on a shallow plate. Roll each ball in the coconut until thoroughly coated.
Transfer the finished chocolate fruit balls to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy these energy-packed, chocolatey bites!
