If you’ve got that gnawing sweet tooth that never leaves you alone, this is such an easy and healthy dessert that tackles those cravings! I was drawn to them by the fact that it seemed so simple to make. Taken from taste.com.au, I have been wanting to make these for quite some time! They turned out to be very delicious and loved by everyone in my household! 

Here we go:

Ingredients

• 12 Medjool dates
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1/2 cup shredded (or flaked) coconut, plus 1/3 extra for coating
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup cacao powder

Instructions

1. Place dates in a small bowl with water and cover. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain and discard seeds.
2. Process dates, almond meal, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and cacao powder until mixture comes together.
3. Place remaining coconut in a shallow dish.
4. Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Roll in coconut to coat.
5. Place in the fridge for an hour or two, letting them harden a bit.

** Warning: Dates are a natural laxative!!!  If you have a sensitive tummy like me, don’t eat more than 2 of these at one time – I learned that the hard way people!**

Enjoy! ❤
