No-bake Chocolate Coconut Energy Balls made with shredded coconut, cocoa, almonds, and dates for a healthy vegan dessert! Rolling these chocolate date balls in extra shredded coconut adds even more texture and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates ~10 - 12 dates
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • cup finely shredded coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Add pitted medjool dates to a food process and process until they combine into a ball.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until evenly combined. Feel the mixture with your fingers - it should easily stick together when pressed between 2 fingers*.
  • Roll dough into ~1 tbsp size balls and coat in extra finely shredded coconut flakes.

Notes

*If this doesn’t happen, add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture is easy to handle and roll into balls
