Notes

  • Use soft Medjool dates for best results. If dates are dry, soak in warm water for 5–10 minutes and drain well.
  • Blend almonds until finely ground but stop before they turn oily.
  • Add water only if needed to help the mixture come together. Start with small amounts.
  • Roll balls evenly for uniform size and chilling.
  • Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving to help them firm up.
