Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl and cover with warm water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Step 3
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky, well-combined dough-like consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a couple of times to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all of the dough is used up.
Step 6
Spread the shredded coconut on a plate or shallow bowl. Roll each chocolate ball in the coconut to coat it evenly.
Step 7
Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 9
Serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
