Completion time: 10 minutes
Yield: 2 dozen balls
Ingredients:
2 cups of dates | 2 cups of Del Alba almonds | 60 gr. dark chocolate powder | 3/4 cup of coconut flakes, (reserve 1/2 cup of coconut flakes to pass the balls at the end) | 1/4 tsp. of sea salt | 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract | 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk. See our almond milk recipe here
Preparation:
1.- In a food processor, add half a cup of coconut flakes to grind them. Process for a little less than a minute. (Do not go beyond a minute because the mixture will turn into coconut butter.)
2.- Remove the ground flakes and set aside.
3.-Add the dates until they are ground and come together to form a ball.
4.-Break the ball with your hands and add the almonds, chocolate powder, 1/4 cup of coconut flakes and sea salt.
5.- Process for several minutes, scraping the walls with the help of a spatula, if necessary.
6.- Add the vanilla and almond milk.
7.- Process the mixture until all the ingredients come together in a ball. If it doesn't happen, add another tablespoon. The mixture should look like the photo below.
8.- Once the necessary consistency is obtained, remove the mixture and form 24 balls.
9.- Pass them one by one in the coconut mixture that you processed at the beginning.
10.- Place them in a container and store them in the refrigerator so they last more weeks.
