I bought a bunch of dates the other day and realized I didn't know what to do with them. So I contacted my friend who is a health genius and she sent me a few different recipes to try using dates. Well this one blew me away! So incredibly delicious and easy.
No-Bake Java Chip Date Balls:
1 cup raw cashews
2 tablespoons quality coffee beans
1 cup packed dates pitted
1/4 cup dark chocolate
So I started by using my dough bowl with my Ninja but it wasn't cutting it, so I switched to my single serve Ninja cup and it worked really well. Put in the cashews and the coffee beans and grind up. My beans were already ground so I did the cashews and then added about 2 tablespoons of the ground coffee. (The picture below is before I switched to the single serve Ninja cup. The nuts went to a finer texture than pictured)
After the coffee and cashews are ground up add in the dates. I chunked up the dates before adding them.
After the dates get chopped up, and it starts to create a dough like texture, empty the mixture into a bowl and add in the 1/4 cup dark chocolate. I also chopped up the chocolate in my Ninja so the consistency would match the nuts.
Stir it together until mixed really well and them form into balls. I made mine about 2 teaspoons in size. Then store in a container in the fridge. Simply Delicious.
