Preparation

Step 1

1) Add the almond butter or sunbutter and dates to the food processor with the S blade, and puree.
2) Add the shredded coconut, cacao powder, vanilla and salt, and puree until it starts sticking together.
Optional: Fold in chopped dark chocolate.
3) Use a 3/4 oz (size 40) scoop with a lever or your hands to make 12 balls.
4) Put the cookies on a piece of unbleached parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
5) Meanwhile heat the cacao butter and honey over a double boiler until just melted, then turn off the heat.
6) Spoon the mixture over the cold cookies and chill to solidify. I did this a few times to use up all of the cacao butter.
7) Store in the fridge.
