Servings: 25 balls

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients

  • 16-18 Medjool dates, pitted
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp espresso powder (or flavoring of choice — vanilla, cinnamon, etc.)

For rolling & coating (optional):

  • Cocoa powder
  • Shredded coconut
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sprinkles or mini chocolate candies

Instructions

  • Remove the pits from the dates. Place them in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 5 minutes, then drain well and allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the soaked dates, almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, salt, and espresso powder (or your chosen flavoring) to a food processor. Blitz until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust flavor if needed.
  • Transfer the mixture to the fridge for 15 minutes so it firms up, making it easier to roll.
  • With slightly damp hands, roll the mixture into small balls.
  • Roll each ball in your chosen toppings — cocoa powder, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, sprinkles, or mini chocolate candies.
  • Place in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
