  • Ingredients

GREEN CHILE PISTACHIO DATE BALLS

 

  • 1 cup green chile pistachios (see note)

  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates chopped

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

RED CHILI PISTACHIO DATE BALLS

  • ✓ 1 cup pistachios
  • ✓ 1 cup pitted Medjool dates chopped
  • ✓ 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • ✓ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ✓ 1 tablespoon red chili pepper flakes
  • Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in the food processor, process on high for 3 – 4 minutes until mixture is well blended and it begins to look like dough
  2. Let the dough sit for 10 – 15 minutes. Waiting will allow for the natural oils from the pistachios to release and they will be easier to shape
  3. Take one tablespoon of the mixture and shape into a ball
  4. Serve at room temperature
  5. Refrigerate for up to one week if they last that long

NOTE: I buy green chile pistachios from Heart of the Desert in Alamogordo, New Mexico https://store.heartofthedesert.com/Green-Chile-Pistachio-Kernels/productinfo/GR
