Coconut Vanilla Date Balls

January 4, 2023

Date balls are one of the best and easiest options for a sweet treat. I make different versions depending on what I have on hand, but these coconut vanilla date balls are generally a crowd pleaser. They taste a bit sweeter than many date balls due to the coconut shreds & vanilla in them.

You can always take the recipe & substitute different nuts, cut down on the coconut to make it less sweet, or add in your own adds. It’s fairly hard to make a date ball inedible, so just go for it.

If you don’t have access to the alcohol free vanilla at Trader Joe’s, I’ll link another one in the ingredients below. However, 100% pure vanilla powder or whole vanilla beans is a much better source to get our vanilla from. I use vanilla powder more, but I have liquid for here and there.
I never liked Oreos (I did love getting Chips Ahoy at my grandma’s though 😉), but I love the vintage tin. It’s become the designated date ball tin; I just line it with parchment paper.

Coconut Vanilla Date Balls

Makes 12 balls – You can double this batch as I did (in pictures) & it will still fit in a large food processor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup walnuts (1/2 hazelnuts and 1/2 walnuts taste good in these too)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup soft medjool dates, remove pits prior
  • 1/2 tsp alcohol free vanilla extract or vanilla powder

Method

  1. Pulse the walnuts & coconut in a food processor until it becomes a crumbly mixture.
  2. Add in the pitted dates and vanilla. Pulse first to get the dates broke down & then run until combined. Be careful not to over process as it’s easier to roll into balls without the dough being too oily. It’s still manageable, but sticky dough is ideal. >If you double the batch, you’ll most likely need to open the food processor to scrape down the sides during processing.
  3. Roll into balls & roll into optional coconut shreds.
  4. Store in the fridge or freezer to harden. I freeze mine and then let them sit out a bit before serving. Enjoy!

Tag me if you make some date balls this week! ♥️ Xx Riane @herhealthystyle.
