Ingredients
Ingredients for the balls:
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- ⅔ cup unsalted pistachios (90g)
- ⅔ cup unsalted cashews (90g)
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (30g)
- 2 tsp matcha powder
Toppings
- ⅔ cup 70% cocoa dark chocolate (100g)
- Handful of chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Pit the dates and add to a food processor with the pistachios, cashews, pumpkin seeds and matcha powder. Blend together until smooth. Add in 1-2 tbsp of water as you blend (you'll only need this if your dates are harder or if it won’t come together into a soft ball).
- Roll into 12 balls and refrigerate whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Dip each ball in the chocolate. Top with some extra chopped pistachios. Refrigerate to set.
Notes
- I use a vegan, 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate.
- To help to coat the balls with the chocolate more easily, add an optional 1 tsp of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
- Store in the fridge, they will last for 8-10 days.
- They also freeze well.
