Process for 1 minute. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula. After that, add the pitted dates and salt. Pulse until the mixture combines and sticks together. If the mixture is too dry, add more dates and if too wet, add some more coconut. You need to pulse until small bits remain and a ball forms. Remove the mixture from the food processor/blender and transfer it to a bowl.
