Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) walnuts
- 16 (100 grams) dates*
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder**
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons unflavored protein powder
- 5 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons coconut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Grind the walnuts and dates in the bowl of your food processor until the walnuts are finely ground. Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder and vanilla and process until thoroughly combined and uniform. Take this out of the bowl and roll the dough out onto a Silpat or a piece of parchment paper like this. I rolled it over half of the Silpat, using the other half of the Silpat to cover the dough so that my pin wouldn't get dirty.
In a small or medium bowl, combine the protein powder, peanut butter, coconut butter and vanilla. I used my fingers to get it all combined but you could use an electric mixer if you like. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the chocolate layer.
Then roll this out. Cut into squares and stack two squares on top of each other, like this.
Roll into a ball or leave them as a square. It'll depend on how big you make them, but I got about 16 one-inch balls. Store at room temperature.
