Ingredients

• 3/4 cup hazelnuts 
• 1 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder 
• 1 fresh medjool date, pitted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Method 

1. Set aside 6 hazelnuts to use later. 
2. Put the remaining 1/2 cup of hazelnuts in a food processor and blitz until processed to a fine meal. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the meal, for rolling. 
3. Add cacao/cocoa powder, date and vanilla, to the food processor and process with the hazelnut meal until smooth. Add a drop or two of water if required so mixture combines together. 
4. Place mix into a bowl and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. 
5. Scoop out tablespoons of the mix to form 6 small balls and push a whole hazelnut from the remaining nuts, into the centre of each ball. 
6. Roll balls in the leftover hazelnut meal to serve. Two balls is one serve. 
7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
