Notes
Storage
- Store date balls in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- If you don’t have medjool dates, you can substitute with another variety of dates, such as deglet noor dates.
- Medjool dates are naturally soft, if the alternative is more firm, soak them in hot water to soften.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water and blend together. If it’s too wet, add a tablespoon or two of coconut.
- Toss in a tablespoon of add-ins like seeds or additional nuts.
