Servings: 12 Balls
Calories: 88kcal
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.
