Ingredients

  • 100 g pistachios shelled
  • 100 g dates
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 60 g dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp ground almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 170c. Add pistachios to a baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside.
  2. Add pistachios to a food processor or blender and mix until you get pistachios butter. This may take a while depending on the strength of your appliance.
  3. The pistachio butter doesn’t need to be completely smooth, but when it becomes a paste, add the dates and maple syrup to a food processor (Along with the pistachio butter if you mixed it in a blender) and mix again until the mixture becomes sticky and easy to compress into balls.
  4. Shape the mix into eight balls.
  5. Melt your chocolate and coconut oil in a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. Once melted, dip and roll each ball in the chocolate to coat and place each ball on your lined tray.
  6. Finally, sprinkle the ground almonds over each ball, then place in the fridge to set.

Serve and enjoy!
