Add the dates to a food processor with a tiny bit of warm water and blitz slightly.

Step 2:

Next, add the cocoa powder and 170g of the desiccated coconut to the blender and blend until fully combined.

Using a spoon, grab some of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the remainder of the desiccated coconut in a wide bowl and roll the date mixture in this to coat.

Step 4:

Continue until you have used up all the mixture. Place in mini cupcake cases or on sheets of baking paper in a tub and chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

Step 5:

There you have it perfect coconutty treats ready to go.

Why not try adding your own flavours to the mix like chopped toasted nuts, berries or even a little splash of rum for a more adult twist!
