Instructions
Prep dates. Soak the dates in boiling water and cover for five minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the water.
Blend. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process until a cookie dough-like texture forms, about 1-2 minutes. Add 1-3 Tbsp. of reserved water as needed for smoothness.
Shape and roll. Use a small ice cream scoop to form balls, then shape with your hands. Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Garnish. Optional, roll each ball in matcha powder for an extra flavor boost.
Freeze! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Defrost for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
