Ingredients
2 cup (310g) fresh dates, pitted
3/4 cup (150g) virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup (25g) cacao powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, extra, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
1/4 cup (50g) coconut flour
sea salt flakes, extra, for sprinkling
Method
1. Place dates in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water; stand 10 minutes to soften. Drain dates; discard water.
2. Meanwhile, melt oil in a small saucepan; combine oil and sifted cacao in a small bowl. Stand until thickened slightly.
3. Process dates, extract, extra oil and salt until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small bowl, cover; freeze 30 minutes or until firm.
4. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Place flour in a small bowl. Using damp hands, roll tablespoons of the date mixture into balls then coat in flour. Using a spoon, dip date balls into cacao coating, then place on tray. Sprinkle with extra salt. Freeze 10 minutes or until set.
