Ingredients:
12 pitted Medjool dates
1 cup pecans
2 tbsp cacao powder
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp sea salt
Desiccated coconut for coating
Method:
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 15 minutes.
Place the pecans, cacao powder, salt, vanilla extract and protein powder (if using) in a food processor or high powered blender and mix until it resembles a grainy flour.
Drain the soaked dates and add to the mix. Blend well until it forms a thick dough.
Roll the mixture in desiccated coconut and make 20 balls. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm.
Tips:
Enjoy straight away or store in the freezer for up to 3 months
If the mixture is too dry using protein powder, add water as needed until desired texture is achieved.
