Pulse the almonds, walnuts, sattu, cacao and salt in a food processor until the nuts break down and combine with the other ingredients.
Add the dates and a tablespoon of water and run the food processor until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
You should be able to squeeze a bit of the mixture between your fingers. If it’s too loose and crumbly, add another tablespoon of water and process until everything comes together.
Scoop pieces of the mixture and roll it into balls between your palms, slightly smaller than the size of a golf ball.
Line them up on the baking sheet and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour, overnight if possible.
Sprinkle some fresh/dry coconut over the balls. (optional)
Store the raw cacao energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
