Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the dates are pitted and the nuts are roughly chopped if preferred for texture.
- Blend Mixture: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, cocoa powder, and nuts. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky, coarse dough that holds together when pressed.
- Form Balls: Using clean hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms into bite-sized balls.
- Chill and Serve: Place the brownie balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- If dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to achieve a smoother texture.
- You can substitute nuts with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.
- Store the brownie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For added flavor, consider rolling the balls in shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder before chilling.
