Grind the nuts finely with a regular or immersion blender. Put the resulting nut flour in a bowl, then add the cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture reaches a uniform colour.
Pit the dates and cut them into pieces. Soak them in hot water for about five minutes. This makes them easier to blend. Soft dates can also be smashed with a fork after soaking.
Add the dates to the nut and cocoa powder mixture. Then knead everything with your hand until you’ve created a sort of dough.
Shape the dough into balls about 2.5cm wide. Sprinkle some coconut flakes on a cutting board and roll half of the balls in the flakes.
Roll the other half of the balls in the sesame seeds.
Store them in the freezer for at least one hour, then serve them directly.
