How to make it
- Combine dates and water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes, until very soft and falling apart.
- Drain, reserving the liquid, and place into a blender with honey, oil and salt. Puree until very very smooth (you are looking for a paste consistency).
- Mix together ground flax and cocoa in a small dish and add to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all one "paste" - add 1-2 tbsp of the saved date water if necessary, but you need to be able to form the mixture into balls.
- Place sesame and flax seeds in a shallow bowl or plate and roll small balls of the paste in them to coat.
- Place balls on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet and chill 1-2 hours before enjoying.
- Store, covered, in the fridge.
