Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Measure out the dates, cocoa powder, nuts, and vanilla extract to have them ready for blending.
  2. Blend mixture: Place the dates, cocoa powder, mixed nuts, and vanilla extract into a food processor or blender. Pulse and blend until the ingredients combine into a sticky, uniform dough-like texture.
  3. Form into balls: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Chill and serve: Place the balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy chilled for the best texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute nuts with nut butter to make the balls smoother if preferred.
  • For added texture, consider rolling balls in shredded coconut or crushed nuts.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to soften.
