Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1 cup pitted Medjool dates, tightly packed

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup instant coffee granules

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup chopped almonds

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)

1/4 cup almond butter (to enhance creaminess)

Instructions
 

Soak the Dates: Begin by soaking the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for approximately 10 minutes, allowing them to soften. After soaking, drain and set aside.

    Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, add the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and sea salt. Pulse the ingredients until they are well incorporated and evenly combined.

      Add Dates and Vanilla: Incorporate the soaked dates and the vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Process until the ingredients start to blend together and form a cohesive mass. Be sure to pause occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

        Incorporate the Crunch Elements: Once the mixture is fully combined, add in the chopped almonds, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut (if using). Pulse the mixture a few more times until the crunchy ingredients are uniformly mixed throughout, taking care not to break them down too much.

          Add Almond Butter: For an extra creamy consistency, drizzle the almond butter into the mixture and pulse several times until the almond butter is fully integrated.

            Form the Balls: With your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls measuring about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball onto a tray lined with parchment paper.

              Chill: Once you’ve rolled all the mixture into balls, refrigerate them for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

                Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, your No-Bake Mocha Almond Crunch Balls are ready to be savored! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will remain fresh for up to a week.
