Start by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain the water thoroughly.
In a food processor, add the soaked dates and blend until they form a thick paste.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa powder, almond flour, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor with the dates.
Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough-like consistency.
If the mixture seems too dry to form into balls, add the unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse again until you reach the desired consistency.
Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the chocolate coconut balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store any leftover balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
