Method

  1. Soak the dates in the coffee for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  2. Once their time is up, drain excess liquid off but do not squeeze the dates dry.

  3. Roughly chop them and set aside.

  4. Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse mix until they are fairly powdery.

  5. Add the ground almonds, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla essence and chopped dates and blitz until you have a smooth texture.

  6. The final texture will depend on how moist your dates were. If the mixture doesn't stick, add a little bit more honey or coffee. If it is too wet, add some more ground almonds. Form into balls and into some ground almonds.

  7. Keep refrigerated in a plastic container and enjoy at your own leisure.

  8. Enjoy!
