Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the dates are pitted and the nuts are roughly chopped if preferred for texture.
  2. 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.
  3. Form Balls: Using clean hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms into bite-sized balls.
  4. 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.
