Prep and cook Time
Preparation: 15 minutes | Chilling: 30 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield
About 20 coconut date rolls
Difficulty Level
Easy – perfect for beginners looking for a wholesome treat
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 2 tablespoons raw almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and added nutrition)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Drain and process the dates. Drain the soaked Medjool dates thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.Place them in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky, cohesive paste.
- Add coconut and nut butter. Incorporate 1/2 cup shredded coconut, almond butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, chia seeds, and coconut oil into the dates. Pulse again until the mixture is smooth but still has a bit of texture.
- form the rolls. With clean hands, scoop about a tablespoon of mixture and roll it into a tight cylinder.
- Coat in coconut. Roll each date cylinder in additional shredded coconut to coat fully and enhance the tropical flavor.
- Chill and set. Place the coated rolls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use fresh Medjool dates if possible-they yield a more luscious roll with natural sweetness and softness.
- if the mixture feels dry, add a teaspoon of warm water or more coconut oil gradually; too much moisture will make rolling difficult.
- Try substituting shredded coconut with finely chopped nuts for a crunchier texture.
- Make a batch in advance and store the rolls in an airtight container in the fridge-the flavors deepen beautifully over 2-3 days.
- For vegan or paleo variations,ensure your nut butter and coconut oil align with dietary preferences.
