Cocoa-Medjool Date-Walnut Rolls

Ingredients

12 Medjool Dates, stones removed
1.5 cups raw walnuts
dash of salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 teaspoons water


What to do with that

• (Depending on the size of your food processor, you might like to split the nuts and dates in two batches.)
• Grind the walnuts and salt in a food processor until finely ground.
• Add the dates, cocoa powder and vanilla extract and process everything together. It will become a thick mass. Add the water and keep mixing.
• Once everything is mixed together, spoon out the mass onto a plate, wet your hands with water and form a roll about 2 inch thick. Take a knife and cut into as many portions you want to create. With wet hands roll each piece into a ball and put it on a plate or small storage container. 
• Once all pieces are rolled, put the container/plate into the fridge. After about 20 minutes you can cover it with plastic wrap without it sticking to the rolls.
• Let them rest in the fridge for 2 hours.
• Enjoy.

Variation: roll the individual portions in ground almonds or coconut before putting them in the fridge.
