Ingredients
For the balls:
- 1 cup organic medjool dates pitted
- ½ cup organic tahini
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup organic raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons homemade almond milk
- ½ teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Himalayan pink salt
For the chocolate coating:
- ¼ cup organic raw cacao powder
- ¼ cup organic maple syrup or organic date syrup
- ¼ cup organic coconut oil
For the topping:
- ¼ cup organic walnuts chopped
Instructions
Prepare the balls:
- Add all the ingredients for the balls to a food processor and process until it becomes a wet, crumbly texture.
- Take out a spoonful at a time and roll it into a ball shape between the palms of your hands.
- Put the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in the freezer to firm while you prepare the coating.
Prepare the chocolate coating:
- Add all the ingredients for the coating to a small saucepan and melt on lowest heat, stirring until it's well combined and smooth, and taking care not to burn it.
- Remove from stove top and allow to cool.
Assembly:
- Once the coating has cooled, remove the pan of balls from the freezer and take each ball and gently roll it into the coating mixture, making sure it's completely covered.
- Place the chocolate coated balls back on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of the chocolate coated balls.
- Put the cookie sheet back in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden.
- Store in an air-tight, BPA-free container in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to serve because they will get soft if left out at room temperature.
- Enjoy!
