03 — Method
- Check that all the dates are pitted (a stray pit can break the blade).
- If the dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain well.
- Process the almonds on their own for 30 seconds to a coarse meal.
- Add the dates, cocoa, coconut oil, vanilla and salt and process for 1 minute until sticky.
- It should hold together when pressed. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon water.
- Put the coconut on a plate. With damp hands, roll the mixture into 12 balls.
- Roll each ball in the coconut, pressing lightly so it sticks.
- Place on parchment paper and chill for 1 hour to firm up. Keeps 1 week in the fridge.
