Ingredients

  • 10 large dates (Pitted; the source specifies large dates.)
  • 1 small cup walnuts (The English text also describes this as 1 small cup; approximately 100 g for nutrition purposes.)
  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (The Arabic ingredient list says 1 tablespoon; the English text says “1 large packet.” Sesame seeds are also used as a topping.)
  • 1 tbsp raw cocoa powder (Optional.)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter (The creator says to use natural peanut butter without added sugar.)
  • 1 tbsp milk (Optional; the creator says it may help the mixture hold together.)
  • dark chocolate (For coating; amount not specified.)
  • 1 cube milk chocolate (The creator mentions adding one cube to the melted chocolate for dipping.)
  • sesame seeds (For topping; amount not specified.)
  • walnuts (For topping; amount not specified.)
  • peanut butter (For topping; amount not specified.)

Steps

  1. 1

    Pit the dates and place them in a food processor with the walnuts, raisins, sesame seeds, raw cocoa powder if using, and peanut butter.

  2. 2

    Process the mixture very thoroughly until finely chopped and cohesive. If it does not hold together, add 1 tablespoon of milk and process again to help it bind.

  3. 3

    Shape the mixture into small balls. The creator also demonstrates making different shapes.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate the shaped balls for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Melt the dark chocolate. Add one cube of milk chocolate, as shown in the source, and stir it into the melted chocolate.

  6. 6

    Dip the chilled energy balls into the chocolate and place them on parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, and peanut butter.

  8. 8

    Chill the coated balls until the chocolate sets and they become firm.

  9. 9

    Store the finished energy balls in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of dark chocolate or the exact quantity of the toppings. The English ingredient list says “1 large packet of sesame,” while the Arabic list and spoken instructions say 1 tablespoon; the tablespoon measurement was retained. The source does not state an exact setting time after coating; chill until firm.
