Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond meal

  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling

  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil

  • 2 tbsp cocoa

  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

  • 6 medjool dates, finely chopped.

Method

  1. 1. If you have wet almond meal leftover from making almond milk, you will need to dry it out. Spread leftover almond meal on a baking tray (roughly 1/2 cm thick) and place in a pre-heated, fan force oven at 180C.

    2. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until most of the moisture has evaporated from the almond meal (test this by running it through your hands after it has cooled slightly).

    3. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the choc almond balls, to form a smooth paste.

    4. Roll into balls using your hands, then cover with a layer of desiccated coconut. Serve straight away, or refrigerate for later.
