  • Shape the cookies by either pressing into balls with you hands, using a cookie press, or using cookie cutters.

Assembly

  • Take handful of cookie dough bites and stir them into the chocolate.
  • Take them out with a fork, let the excess chocolate drip off and place them onto the glass dish that was used to freeze them in.

If available, use 1 cup cacao paste, aka liquor, instead of cacao butter and powder.
Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week or in freezer for up to 2 weeks.
*If dates are not juicy, soak them in water for about 10-20 minutes.
