Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 8 medjool Medjool Dates or any soft dates
  • ½ cup Raw Cacao Powder unsweetened cocoa powder is a suitable alternative

Optional Additions

  • ¼ cup Vegan Chocolate Chips optional for extra chocolatey texture

Instructions

Making Chocolate Date Balls

  • In a food processor, combine the Medjool dates and raw cacao powder, processing until smooth, resembling a soft dough.
  • Scoop the blended mixture into a bowl and place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
  • Once firm, roll the mixture into small spheres about 1 inch in diameter to form 12-15 balls.
  • Optional: Melt vegan chocolate and drizzle it over the rolled balls to enhance the flavor. Let it set before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, soft Medjool dates for optimal sweetness and texture. Chill the mixture to make rolling easier and ensure a satisfying texture. Experiment with nuts or seeds for added crunch.
