Course Snack
Servings 12 Balls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup desiccated/shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • extra desiccated/shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Blitz all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture resembles a crumb-like texture.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll into a ball. Then roll the ball into the extra coconut. Repeat for all 12 balls.
  • Whilst they can be eaten straight away, it's best to allow them to set by placing in the fridge or freezer before serving.

Notes

  • Recipe can be doubled or tripled if you want to make some for the freezer.
  • If your mixture is too dry, try adding a little more coconut oil (not too much!) and use wet hands to roll the balls out.
