Equipment

1 food processor
1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
1 Bowl For Soaking Dates (Optional)
1 Parchment Paper (If Coating With Chocolate)

Ingredients

1 cup Medjool Dates, Pitted ~12 dates
¾ cup raw cashews or Almonds
1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut plus ⅓ cup extra for rolling
2 tbsp Almond Butter
2 tbsp Coconut Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ tsp Sea Salt
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness
½ cup dark chocolate melted, for coating

Instructions

If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain well.
In a food processor, pulse the dates and nuts until finely chopped and sticky.
Add the shredded coconut, almond butter, coconut flour, vanilla extract, sea salt, and optional sweetener. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If too dry, add 1–2 tsp water or a bit more almond butter; if too wet, add a little more coconut flour or shredded coconut.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball with damp hands to prevent sticking. Repeat with remaining dough.
Roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut to coat evenly.
(Optional) For a chocolate treat, dip each ball in melted dark chocolate, place on parchment paper, sprinkle with extra coconut, and let chocolate set.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh, soft Medjool dates for best texture and flavor.
Toast shredded coconut in a dry skillet for 3–5 minutes over medium heat for a nutty twist if desired.
Wet your hands slightly before rolling to keep balls from sticking.
