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
Directions
Step 1
Pit the Medjool dates and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the raw almonds and process until they are finely ground.
Step 3
Add the softened dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil to the ground almonds in the food processor.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the dough into a bowl and add 0.5 cup of the shredded coconut. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture and roll it between your palms to form balls.
Step 7
Spread the remaining 0.25 cup of shredded coconut onto a plate. Roll each ball in the coconut to coat.
Step 8
Place the chocolate coconut balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
