5-ingredient love balls

Print Recipe
Servings 24 Love Balls

Ingredients
  

  • 14 juicy and plump Medjool dates (use 16 if they are small) pitted
  • ½ cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 ½ cup nuts (I use cashews, almonds and walnuts, alone or in combination) whole
  • 1⁄2 heaping tsp Maldon salt
  • 1⁄4 cup or so finely shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, finely chop the dates with the cocoa, tahini and honey until thoroughly mixed and relatively smooth.
  • Add the nuts and salt and pulse to chop and combine.
  • Role into 2-inch (walnut-sized) balls.
  • Place the balls onto a plate or cookie sheet and sprinkle with coconut. Gently but firmly roll the balls in the coconut so they get completely covered.
  • Store in the fridge for a few weeks.
