Sweet and simple no-bake bites- roll in cocoa powder or coconut, or try other flavors like matcha powder or sesame seeds!

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 30 (30 1-inch balls)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • 1 cup unsalted pistachio nuts, shelled
  • 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)

Preparation

  1. In a food processor, finely grind the pistachios. Remove 1/4 cup of the ground pistachios and set aside.
  2. Add the pitted dates and 1/2 cup shredded coconut to the food processor and blend well until the mixture sticks together.
  3. Using clean hands, form the mixture into 1-inch balls, roll them in the remaining coconut or pistachios and set on a plate or platter.
  4. To make chocolate date balls, remove half of the blended date/coconut mixture from the food processor, then add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the remainder and process until well blended. Roll in additional cocoa powder to resemble chocolate truffles.
