Equipment

  • food processor
  • Parchment Paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 1 cup Pitted dates provide natural sweetness and help bind the mixture together.
  • 1 cup Walnuts add a satisfying crunch and are rich in healthy fats.
  • 1 cup Shredded coconut delivers tropical flavor and can be rolled for extra texture.
  • ½ cup Cocoa powder introduces rich chocolate flavor while keeping it guilt-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract enhances the overall sweetness and flavor profile.
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea salt balances sweetness for a more rounded taste.

For Additional Creaminess

  • ½ cup Almond butter acts as a binding agent and adds a nutty richness.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup adds an additional touch of sweetness if desired.

For Dipping

  • ½ cup Dark chocolate chips offer a decadent finish.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Base: Place the finely chopped pitted dates into a food processor and process for about 1-2 minutes until they form a sticky paste that clumps together.
  • Mix in Ingredients: Add the chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. If desired, pour in the honey or maple syrup and pulse for 1-2 minutes.
  • Incorporate Nut Butter: Add the almond butter and pulse for about 30 seconds until the mixture is thick and sticky.
  • Shape the Balls: Scoop out small portions and roll them into 1-inch balls. Use water on your hands if the mixture is too sticky.
  • Coconut Coating: Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip the Balls: Dip each coconut-coated ball halfway into the melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  • Chill to Set: Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

Notes

Experiment with flavors by adding spices or different nut butters. Store in an airtight container for freshness and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
