Start by pitting the Medjool dates if you haven’t done so already. Next, place the dates into a food processor and pulse them for about 30 seconds until they form a sticky, thick paste.

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat this process until all of the paste is formed into small balls.

Transfer the unsweetened shredded coconut to a shallow bowl. Roll each date ball in the coconut until fully coated.

If you’re using almonds, now is the time to press one into the center of each coconut-covered ball for added crunch.

Your 3 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls are ready to enjoy immediately or refrigerate for about 15 minutes for a firmer texture.
