Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup diced dates
1 cup water
1 tsp honey ( optional) or 1 tsp agave nectar (optional)
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup ground flax seed
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
toasted sesame seeds, for rolling
golden flax seed, for rolling

Directions:

Combine dates and water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes, until very soft and falling apart.
Drain, reserving the liquid, and place into a blender with honey, oil and salt. Puree until very very smooth (you are looking for a paste consistency).
Mix together ground flax and cocoa in a small dish and add to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all one paste - add 1-2 tbsp of the saved date water if necessary, but you need to be able to form the mixture into balls.
Place sesame seeds in a shallow bowl or plate and roll small balls of the paste in them to coat.
Place balls on a plate and chill 1-2 hours before enjoying.
Store, covered, in the fridge, or freeze up to 1 month.
