Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 1/2 pounds medjool dates (about 25 large dates)
- 1/4 cup runny almond butter
- 1/4 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 heaping cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instruction
- If your dates seem at all dry, add to a bowl and soak with water to make processing easier.
- Otherwise, add the pitted dates, almond butter, salt, vanilla and coconut milk to a food processor.
- Process until you get a thick paste with no visible date pieces left. It will take a bit to process depending on what kind of food processor you have, you may need to stop to scrape down the sides a couple of times.
- Scoop into about 1 inch balls and roll with your hands. If it seems too sticky, just slightly dampen your hands to make it easier to roll. Place on a piece of parchment paper, keeping each ball away from the other.
- Stick in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a glass bowl or small pan. Add that pan into another pan with about an inch of water.
- Heat over low/medium heat to melt the chocolate, stirring regularly.
- Take each caramel ball and roll in the chocolate, then place back on the piece of parchment paper and top with salt flakes.
- Add back to the freezer for about 15 minutes & enjoy!
