Ingredients

  • 210 g pitted & chopped dates
  • 35 g walnuts (or pistachio) roasted & chopped
  • 50 g cashews roasted & chopped
  • 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp water (you may or may not need this)
  • Nuts (ground), cocoa powder and/or desiccated coconut, for coating
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional
  • 2 tbsp chopped dark chocolate I used 70% cocoa

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, add all ingredients except for the ingredients for coating and water. Pulse until combined. When you feel that the mixture comes together and can be formed into balls, then you don't have to add water. (This will be depending on the texture of your dates.) Otherwise, you have to add water. 

  2. When the mixture is ready, remove from the food processor and transfer into a bowl.

  3. Take about 1 1/2 tbsp of the mixture and form into balls.
  4. Roll the balls to your preferred coating.
  5. Keep the balls in the fridge inside an airtight container.
