Mash the dates in a bowl with a fork. If your dates aren’t soft enough, mix them in a blender or food processor with the coffee or soak them in warm water until soft.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
Take a little bit of the “dough”, around 1 tbsp, and roll in your hands into small balls. Roll in shredded coconut or pearl sugar. Serve or let firm up in the fridge.
