12 fresh Medjool dates, pitted
66g almond meal
Zest of one large orange
30mls cacao powder
60mls maple syrup
Shredded or desiccated coconut (optional)
Place all ingredients except coconut in a food processor. Whiz until well combined and the mixture comes together – it should be like a thick paste.
Roll into small balls, then roll into the coconut if desired.
Refrigerate for one – two hours to set.
Best eaten day made.
Note 1: If you don’t have cacao powder, you can use cocoa instead. The flavor might be a little different, but the balls should still be delicious!
Note 2: No matter how much you process the mixture, you might still have some harder bits of date in it that seem a little “stalky” in your mouth. That was Suzanne’s experience, anyway!
