I have a very sweet tooth so I am always looking for ways to curb the cravings for chocolate. These energy balls are naturally gluten free, accidentally vegan, packed with nutrients, are refined sugar free and need no cooking. They are a more healthy alternative to chocolate and sweets and really hit the spot.

Method

Pit the dates and roughly chop, throw into a food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes.
Add all the other ingredients to the food processor (except the 10g of desiccated coconut needed for rolling) and blitz again for another minute or two, it should combine well and end up with almost one ball of the mix.
Break the mix into 12 pieces and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the 10g of desiccated coconut reserved earlier.
