Serves: 12 balls
Ingredients
⅓cup whole raw almonds
20 pitted dates (I used Deglet Noor dates)
½cup unsweetened coconut flakes (divided)
1tbsp coconut oil
1tbsp water
dash of kosher salt
Instructions
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse about 10 times until all the large pieces are broken up.
Add the dates, ¼cup coconut, coconut oil, water and salt and process until no large pieces of date are left and a ball forms when you roll it in your hands.
Divide the mixture with a small ice cream scoop or a teaspoon - forming each one into a ball with your hands. Next, roll each ball in the remaining ¼ coconut flakes. (I had to press my balls into the flakes a bit to get them to stick.) Refrigerate for at least one hour for the flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. (I like to keep mine in fridge.)
