-
In a small pan over medium heat, cook dates in water for about 15 minutes or until they can be easily mashed with a fork.
-
Purée dates with a hand blender. If you don’t have one, stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. The texture won’t be as smooth but it will be fine.
-
Add chocolate chips and cocoa. Stir till the mixture is homogeneous. Add cranberries and mix to distribute evenly.
-
Transfer preparation to a bowl and place in the freezer for at least one hour (it’s much easier to handle when it’s very cold).
-
Rub a little coconut oil or canola oil on your hands. Take about 1 tablespoon to form each little ball.
-
Roll the balls in cocoa, finely chopped almonds or hazelnuts, or unsweetened coconut.
