Another super simple sweet treat that is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. This makes a nice big batch and they freeze well, so I like to freeze up batches to have on hand for the unexpected pop in or just for a chocolately treat in emergencies!
They are perfect with a cup of tea. I adore Pukkah Teas, current favourites are peppermint and licorice, and detox.
- 3 cup raw almonds
- 3 cups dates
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 3 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp himalayan pink salt
- Add all ingredients to the food processor and pulse until it forms a dough like consistency. You should be to squeeze the dough easily to form a ball which stays together well.
- Using a heaped tablespoon of mixture make into balls.
- Place in an airtight container in the fridge and let set for 2 hours.
