Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the dates in a medium bowl and cover with warm water (about 100°F/38°C). Let stand for 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer the dates to a food processor along with the oats, almonds, flaxseeds, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Process until the oats and almonds are finely ground, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup coconut, almond paste, and cacao nibs and process, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Form the mixture into 2 tablespoon balls (a 30 ml ice cream scoop works best). Once all the balls are formed, place the remaining 1/4 cup coconut in a small bowl and roll each ball in the coconut, coating them completely. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks..
