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
  1. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse about 10 times until all the large pieces are broken up.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
