Pistachio date balls

Source: KineleVital on Facebook:

• 11 dates, medjool for preference
• 100g shelled pistachios
• 1 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp macha powder
• 1 pinch coarse sea salt
• 100g dark chocolate

What we did:

• Blitz the pistachios in a food processor
• Reserve 25g for decoration
• Blitz the dates, matcha powder, salt, and honey until well combined
• Add the 75g pistachios and blitz again
• Roll tablespoon scoops of mixture into balls - makes about 9
• Melt the chocolate and pour over
• Sprinkle with chopped pistachios
• Put in fridge or freezer

What we’d change:

• The chocolate was a little overpowering
  • Use non-baking chocolate
  • Use milk chocolate
  • Thin the chocolate with some sort of oil
  • Dip the balls rather than pouring - look at Amaury Guichon videos
• The last two were quite salty – presumably an uneven salt distribution
  • try using table salt
