Ingredients

  • 20 medium - large Medjool dates pitted, room temperature
  • ¼ cup Cacao powder
  • ¼ large Avocado
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 smidge Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Boiling water

Instructions

  • In a food processor, add all ingredients and blend until smooth. You will need to scrape down the sides several times to ensure everything has been processed evenly.
    20 medium - large Medjool dates, ¼ cup Cacao powder, ¼ large Avocado, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 smidge Salt, 2 tablespoons Boiling water
  • Spoon out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll in your wet hands (use small amounts of water at a time to wet hands). Each ball should be about 1-2 bite-sized pieces. Roll the ball in your desired coating (see the suggestions I made in the above article) and place it on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. Ensure balls are not touching each other on the tray.
  • Cover the tray lightly with baking paper and place in the freezer, for at least 1-2 hours. Then transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Enjoy cold, straight from the freezer.
