Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup water
1/2 cup roughly chopped pitted dates (about 3 oz)
1/2 cup toasted cashews
1/4 cup unsweetened soymilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Directions:

Put water into a small pot and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add dates, cover and set aside to let steep for 5 minutes; drain well. Transfer dates to a food processor, add cashews, soymilk and vanilla and pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl often, until smooth.
Transfer date mixture to a large bowl, stir in 1/2 cup cocoa, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Transfer remaining 1/2 cup cocoa to a wide, shallow dish. Make each button by forming about 1 teaspoon of the cocoa mixture into a ball. Roll in cocoa, and then press flat with your thumb; transfer to a large parchment paper-lined sheet tray as done. Set aside to let firm up a bit, 3 to 4 hours.
