Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Prepare a food processor with the standard blade.
Place the raw almonds into the food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not turned into butter.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor with the chopped almonds.
Blend the ingredients until they come together into a cohesive sticky dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure even mixing.
Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a smooth ball.
Optionally, roll each ball in the shredded coconut to coat the outside for additional texture and flavor.
Place the finished chocolate balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
