Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 1/2 cups medjool dates (pitted)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1
Process nuts: Place coconut, almonds and cashews into food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. Place nut mixture in a bowl and set aside.
- 2
Process dates: Put dates into the food processor and pulse until a paste forms. The dates will probably form into a sticky ball. If they do, break about the ball a bit with your hands.

Add remaining ingredients: Add nuts and coconut back into the processor with the dates and pulse until well combined. Add chocolate chips and pulse a few more times, until they’re just incorporated.

Form balls: Once mixture is combined, use your hands (or a cookie scoop) to scoop and form the dough into balls, using about 1 Tablespoon of dough for each ball. Enjoy right away or store for later.
