Worked out from the ingredients. How we work out our numbers
Ingredients
- 200 g Medjool dates (pitted)
- 100 g Almonds
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 30 g Desiccated coconut
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Method
- 1
Add dates, almonds, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky, chunky paste, about 30 seconds. The balls will need 30 minutes in the fridge at the end, so leave time to chill.
- 2
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your palms into balls. Roll each ball in desiccated coconut to coat.
- 3
Place the balls on a tray lined with greaseproof paper and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
