Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Ensure the dates are pitted and roughly chopped to make blending easier. Measure out the cocoa powder and nuts.
  2. Blend the mixture: In a food processor or blender, combine the dates, cocoa powder, and nuts. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky, coarse dough-like consistency. If needed, scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure even blending.
  3. Form the balls: Use your hands to scoop and roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Aim for about 1-inch diameter for easy snacking.
  4. Chill the balls: Place the formed balls on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for a softer, sweeter texture.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts based on preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Store the date brownie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Optional: Roll the balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder for added texture and flavor.
