Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.75 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Pit the Medjool dates and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften.
In a food processor, combine the raw almonds and process until they are finely ground.
Add the softened dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil to the ground almonds in the food processor.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky dough. It should hold together well when pinched between your fingers. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water and process again.
Transfer the dough into a bowl and add 0.5 cup of the shredded coconut. Mix until well combined.
Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture and roll it between your palms to form balls.
Spread the remaining 0.25 cup of shredded coconut onto a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat.
Place the chocolate coconut balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
