Ingredients
-
2 cups
almond meal
-
18
dates (I used Halawi dates, but you can use any kind)
-
1.5 ounces
dark chocolate (70% cacao at least)
-
3 tablespoons
cocoa powder + more for rolling
-
1 tablespoon
ground coffee
-
1/2-1 teaspoons
cayenne pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon
nutmeg
-
1-2 tablespoons
water (recommend using the water you soaked the dates in)
Directions
-
Soak the dates in warm water for 10-15 minutes.
-
While the dates soak, combine all other ingredients except the date water in a high-speed blender or food processor.
-
Add the dates to the dry ingredient mix and blend.
-
The batter will be sticky, and hard to mix. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the date water to allow for blending until you reach a thick, dough-like consistency.
-
Roll into 1/2 inch balls and roll into cacao powder to cover.
-
Store in the freezer. When ready to eat, let them warm to room temperature.
