Remove the pits from dates and soak them in hot water for 5 minutes. When the dates are softened, drain them and place in a food processor. Reserve the water for later

Add all the other ingredients to the food processor and pulse until mixture begins to thicken and stick together

Check texture to make sure it’s sticky enough to roll the balls. If it’s too thick or dry, add some of the reserved water (I added 4 tbsp of the water for the desired consistency)

With an ice cream scooper or spoon, scoop the mixture and roll into small balls. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut and fully coat.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving

Store in the fridge inside an airtight container for up to 5 days
