Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
 

  • 14 ounces dried figs stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted creamy almond butter
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flaked

Instructions
 

  • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine figs, almond butter, and 2 tablespoon water. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
  • Using a 1-teaspoon measure, scoop the fig mixture and roll with your hands into 1-inch balls. Place the fig balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add the chocolate chips and oil into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 minutes. Stir and repeat until chocolate chips are melted. Alternatively, set a medium heat-proof bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a fork, dip the fig balls in the melted chocolate to coat evenly, allowing any excess chocolate to drop back into the bowl. Return the fig bites to the baking sheet and sprinkle with the coconut. Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate has set, about 30 minutes.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 1-2 months.
