Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Place the pitted Medjool dates into a food processor. Pulse until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms, which should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Form the Rolls: Scoop out small portions of the date mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands, ensuring they are compact and uniform in size.
- Coat with Coconut: Pour the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl. Roll each date ball in the coconut until it is fully coated on all sides, giving the rolls a textured and flavorful outer layer.
- Add Almond Topping (Optional): If desired, gently press an almond into the top of each coconut-coated roll to add a satisfying crunch and enhance nutritional value.
Notes
- You can store these coconut date rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For a nut-free version, omit the almonds or substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- If the date mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Use pitted Medjool dates for the best natural sweetness and soft texture.
- These rolls are naturally sweetened and contain no added sugar, making them a healthy snack option.
