Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse a few times to break them into smaller pieces.
Add the raw almonds, raw walnuts, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky dough. This may take about 1-2 minutes, and you may need to stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to create 16 balls.
Roll each ball in the unsweetened shredded coconut until evenly coated.
Place the balls on a plate or in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store the sugar-free cinnamon nut balls in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
