DD has international day so rather than sending a plate of dates I thought I would make coconut date balls... I thought it was a matter of rolling dates into balls then tossing them in coconut but online has loads of recipes that involve cooking this n that n sugar!

Does anyone have a tried n tested date ball recipe that isn't packed with sugar? The kids are only 2 years old... Or do I just go with rolling the dates into balls then in coconut?

TIA

you can get dates that have been made into a paste - not the jars of dibs but actually puréed dates - you could roll that in dessicated coconut. I have a packed that you can have but am not a hundred percent sure that it's still in date (just looked and can't see an expiry date.)

how do you roll a date into a ball? do you cut it up first? You can buy those packets of dates in the supermarkets where the dates are all tightly squished together. They're very easy to peel apart one by one and as you roll in your hand you can remove any hard skin or stones Any recipes anyone?
