Brew the coffee and set it aside to cool.
Place the pitted dates in a bowl, add hot water, and allow to soak for 15 minutes. If the dates are nice and soft, you can skip this step.
Drain the dates well, then add the ingredients to a food processor. Mix into a thick dough — one that you can press together between your fingers.
Roll the dough using your hand into about 18 balls.
You can roll the balls in coconut, cinnamon, or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
Put the vegan coconut coffee protein balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months. You can store them at room temperature for one to two days for better texture.
