Cacao Coconut Rough Balls


Original recipe credit -secretsquirrelfood.com

Only modification was that I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste and I didn't worry about rolling them in coconut afterwards.


Makes about 20 balls.

1 cup medjool dates

1 cup desiccated coconut

¼ cup cacao powder

½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tbsp water

cup buckinis (substitute for any seeds/nuts)

1. Lightly toast desiccated coconut in a pan on low heat until lightly toasted and aromatic.

2. Add all ingredients except for buckinis to a food processor and pulse until sticky when pressed between the fingers.

3. Add buckinis and pulse a few times until mixed through. Be careful not to over pulse.

4. Grab a tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls.

5. Finally, roll the balls into desiccated coconut and place in an airtight container in the fridge.

 These will keep for around 2 weeks in the fridge.
