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.
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates ~10 - 12 dates
- 1 cup raw almonds
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup finely shredded coconut flakes
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.
*If this doesn’t happen, add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture is easy to handle and roll into balls
