Description
Indulge in these blissful no-bake chocolate balls made with dates, walnuts, and cocoa powder, perfect for a quick and healthy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pitted and chopped dates
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
- Begin by placing the chopped dates and walnuts in a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes finely chopped and well combined.
- Next, introduce the cocoa powder, shredded coconut, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt into the processor. Blend until the mixture transforms into a cohesive, sticky dough.
- If you’re opting for chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough until they are evenly mixed.
- Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and use your hands to shape it into a small ball. Continue this process until all the mixture is formed into balls.
- To finish, roll each ball in the extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder for a delightful coating.
- Arrange the chocolate bliss bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to set.
- Enjoy these bites chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- For a nut-free alternative, replace the walnuts with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Feel free to get creative by adding dried fruits, chia seeds, or spices like cinnamon for an extra flavor kick.
