METHOD

Add all ingredients to a food mixer - the dough should be damp and mouldable but not too sticky. Add some water (or if you’ve soaked your dates overnight, use the date water) if too dry or crumbly.

Roll the dough in the palm of your hands into bite-size balls and then roll in cacao powder to cover the outside.

Let sit in the fridge for around 25 minutes and keep refrigerated. They’ll keep for up to 1 weeks. They can also be frozen if you’re making them in bulk for meal prepping or a party!
