Takes 14 minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients
 

Inside filling

  • 100 g medjool dates
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp plant milk
  • 2 tsbp peanut butter

Outer layer

  • 300 g medjool dates
  • 300 g almonds
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g cocoa nibs

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Inside Filling:
    Remove the pits from the dates and add them to a food processor along with the cocoa powder, maple syrup, plant milk, and peanut butter.
    Blend until smooth, forming a consistency like a healthy chocolate spread.
  • Shape the Inside Filling:
    Using 2 teaspoons, carefully shape the mixture into 8-10 small balls, approximately 2 cm in diameter.
    Set aside.
  • Prepare the Outer Layer:
    Wash the food processor.
    Remove the pits from the dates for the outer layer and add them to the food processor along with the almonds, salt, and vanilla extract.
    Blend until the mixture is well combined.
  • Shape the Outer Layer:
    Carefully shape and flatten portions of the outer layer into small rectangles, approximately 4 cm square.
    Place the inside filling ball in the centre of each rectangle, then fold the outer layer over, ensuring the inside filling is completely covered.
    Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
  • Coat with Cocoa Nibs:
    Roll each ball in the cocoa nibs, ensuring they are well coated.
    Repeat with the remaining mixture.
    Enjoy!
