Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your medjool dates are pitted and soft. If they are a bit firm, soak them in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften.
In your food processor, add the raw pecans and raw almonds. Pulse them until they are finely chopped but not completely ground into flour. You want a bit of texture!
Add the pitted medjool dates, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Finally, add the dark chocolate chips and pulse just a few times to mix them throughout the mixture, ensuring they remain chunky for that delightful burst of chocolate in every bite.
With clean hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Refrigerate the chocolate coconut date balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freeze for up to three months; ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
For a different flavor, substitute nuts or add protein powder to the mixture.
