Soak dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and place in a food processor with the almond meal.

Process until it forms a smooth large ball.

Roll into small balls.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler (a bowl placed on top of boiling water) or in the microwave at 15 seconds intervals and stirring in between.

Place shredded coconut in a bowl or plate.

Using a toothpick, skewer or fork, stab a ball, dip it into the melted chocolate and then into coconut. Repeat with all the balls.

Let dry and store in the fridge in an airtight container.
