Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g Medjool dates pitted
- 70 g Walnuts
- 70 g Pistachio kernels
- 100 g Pistachio butter smooth
- 150 g Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the Medjool dates, walnuts and pistachio kernels to a food processor. Pulse it a few times, until crumbly.

- Scoop out portions and roll into 18 evenly sized balls using your hands.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler on low heat.

- Place on baking paper and let set at room temperature or in the fridge until firm.
Notes
- If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes and drain well before blending.
- For easier rolling, lightly dampen your hands or chill the mixture for 10 minutes.
- Chocolate's thickness will affect the final calorie count.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months. Allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
