Ingredients: ½ cup pistachios, hulled,½ cup sweetened shredded coconut,¼ cup cocoa powder,¼ – ½ teaspoon salt, start with ¼ teaspoon and add more to taste,1 teaspoon vanilla,14 medjool dates, pitted,Dark chocolate (mixed with a touch of coconut oil), cocoa powder, and shredded coconut for topping
Instructions:
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes.
- Drain.
- In your food processor, combine pistachios, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and salt. Pulse until finely ground.
- Add in vanilla and the softened mejool dates and pulse until a ball forms.
- Roll into bite sized balls (mine were about tablespoons) and dip immediately in to cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or my personal favorite dark chocolate that’s been melted with a *hint* of coconut oil.
- Enjoy immediately! Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
- NOTES
- Cocoa powder is extremely bitter, so make sure you like the taste before rolling all of them in cocoa powder. My personal favorites are the shredded coconut or dark chocolate! 🙂
