Ingredients
80grams/ 1/2 cup hemp hearts
50grams/ 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
120grams/ 1/2 cup dates*
2tablespoonscocoa powder or raw cacao
1tablespooncoconut oil
¼teaspoonvanilla powderoptional
Tiny pinch salt
Additional coconutfor rolling
Instructions
Place the hemp, coconut, dates, cocoa, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until a dough that holds when pressed forms. Use your hands to form small balls, about the size of walnuts, and roll them in the extra coconut. Store in the refrigerator up to one week or in the freezer indefinitely.
Notes
• I've also made these and not rolled them in more coconut. Still good, but not as fun! * You may need to soak your dates if they're very hard. When I made these yesterday my dates were semi-dry and I didn't have time to soak them, and it still worked, but I had to add a tablespoon of oat milk to get it to come together.
