Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted mejool dates
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips, melted
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Soak dates in very hot water for 15 minutes. Drain.
- Transfer drained dates to a blender. Add coconut milk, oil and vanilla extract. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

- Remove the bowl from the heat. One at a time, roll each date ball into the chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
