Ingredients

Instructions

  • First, prepare Medjool dates, by removing their pits.
  • Then, place Medjool dates and the rest of the ingredients into a high-speed food processor.
  • Process on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides. A dough should form and it should be slightly sticky but should easily hold shape when you roll it into a ball.
  • Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough into your palms and roll into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is gone.
  • Next, place 1/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut into a small bowl.
  • Roll each ball in the shredded coconut, pressing the coconut shreds into the dough to form a "snowball." Repeat until all balls are covered.
  • Eat immediately or freeze for later.
