Pistachio Date Chocolate Balls
These Pistachio Date Chocolate Balls are a simple no-bake treat made with just 4 ingredients. Sweet dates and pistachios are blended into a chewy center, rolled into bite-sized balls, and dipped in rich chocolate.
Pistachio Date Chocolate Balls are a delightful snack that requires minimal effort to prepare yet delivers big flavor. The natural sweetness of the dates pairs perfectly with the nutty crunch of pistachios and the satisfying richness of dark chocolate.
Instructions
- 1
Add 1½ cups pitted dates and 1 cup pistachios to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture breaks down and starts to stick together. It should hold when pressed between your fingers.
- 2
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet.
- 3
Refrigerate the balls for 20 minutes to firm them up.
- 4
Melt 6 ounces chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each. Stir in 1 teaspoon oil if using.
- 5
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then place back on the parchment.
- 6
Sprinkle the tops with chopped pistachios while the chocolate is still wet.
- 7
Refrigerate for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
