1. Place the dates in a bowl and pour room temperature water over them, ensuring they are well covered. Let them soak for 1 hour.
2. Drain them and pat dry with kitchen paper. Place all ingredients in a blender and process until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
3. If needed, add 4-5 tablespoons of the water the dates soaked in. Form balls of approximately 20g each and roll them in your desired coating.
Store in an airtight container for about 1 week.
