I saw these Almond Coconut Date Rolls at the store for a rather ridiculous price. I took a quick mental note of the ingredients and decided to try making them at home. As it turns out, they’re SUPER easy to make! Basically just process all the ingredients in a food processor for a minute, roll them up into little balls, and let them sit in the fridge or freezer for a bit to harden. Easy!

Instructions

In a food processor, blend together the almonds and shredded coconut until the almonds are coarsely chopped.

Add in the remaining ingredients and process for 30-60 seconds until everything is finely processed and the mixture is rather sticky. (see photo above to know the texture)

Taking 1 tablespoon at a time (can make them small though if you wish), roll the mixture in your hands so that it forms a nice smooth ball.

Place each ball on a parchment lined baking sheet. Continue until all of the mixture is used up.

Put the try in the fridge for an hour to let the rolls harden.

ENJOY!!

Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pulse, Don't Purée 🔄
Use short pulses in the food processor rather than continuous blending to maintain texture—you want a chunky mixture, not a smooth paste, for the best bite and visual appeal.
Warm Your Coconut Oil 🥥
Slightly warm the coconut oil before processing so it acts as a binding agent more effectively, creating rolls that hold together better and have a superior texture.
Soak Dates for Optimal Texture 💧
Soak your dates in warm water for 10 minutes before processing to soften them, ensuring they blend smoothly and distribute evenly throughout the mixture for consistent rolls.
Toast Your Almonds First 🔆
Lightly toast the almonds for 5-7 minutes before adding them to deepen their nutty flavor and add complexity that elevates these simple rolls from good to gourmet.
Chill Between Shaping Sessions ❄️
Refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls—this prevents sticking and makes shaping easier, plus the cold mixture holds its shape better during final freezing.
