Ingredients
- 20 large Medjool dates pitted and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup roasted nuts of choice cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or a blend
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (dry coconut flakes) plus more for topping
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Add dates and nuts to a food processor and blend until fully roughly chopped. Add the coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt and blend into a rough paste.
- Remove from the food processor and roll the date filling into a log. I like to do this using parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Add shredded coconut to a shallow plate and roll the date roll in the coconut to coat. Place in the fridge for a minimum of an hour or two to firm before slicing. Slice into ½-inch disks.
- Store in the fridge in a closed plastic bag. Keep date nut roll slices in the freezer in a ziplock bag to snack as desired. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Place sliced disks in an airtight container and transfer to the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them in ziplock bags for up to 3 months.
