Instructions

Place everything in a food processor or powerful blender (I used my VItamix) in the order listed.
Pulse and blend until a thick paste like consistency is reached. Add a bit of warm water, 1 Tbsp at a time if needed.
Roll into evenly sized balls and roll in additional coconut if desired.

Notes

If mixture is too dry, try adding a few more dates or a bit of warm water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Once you start rolling them you can also press them together a bit to help them start sticking.
