Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • 1/2 cup blanched, slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place the pitted dates, shredded coconut, slivered almonds, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it forms a sticky, uniform dough. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
  3. Scoop out the dough using a small spoon or a cookie scoop.
  4. Roll the mixture between your palms to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Roll the finished balls in extra shredded coconut until fully coated.
  6. Place the finished balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 5 minutes, then drain well before using.
  • You can substitute walnuts or pecans for the almonds if you prefer.
  • Store these balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
