[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you like dark chocolate and deep roasted coffee flavours, this will be the perfect treat for you.

[vc_empty_space height=”20″][mkdf_accordion style=”boxed_accordion”][mkdf_accordion_tab icon_pack=”” title=”Ingredients”][vc_column_text]1 cup dates, pitted and chopped

2 tsp instant coffee dissolved in ¼ cup of water

2 Tbsp. cocoa powder

2 Tbsp. ground almond powder

½ cup chopped nuts of your choice (I used pecans)

1 tsp vanilla essence

Desiccated coconut, to coat

[mkdf_accordion_tab icon_pack=”” title=”Method”][vc_column_text]Whizz all the ingredients, except the coconut, together in a food processor or with a stick blender. Place mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow for easy shaping. Form into balls (sizes depend on you although bite size is always good for a treat). Dip and roll into coconut to evenly coat the outside of the balls. Eat straight away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for later.
