Soak the dates in 1/4 cup of water for 10-15 minutes or until soft.
Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10mins at 350 degrees F.
Place the soft dates, the water used to soak the dates, roasted hazelnuts (leave a handful aside to place in the center of the balls), almond meal, protein powder, chia seeds and cacao powder in a food processor, then blitz and combine.
Roll mixture into balls, making sure to place a hazelnut in the center of each ball.
Coat balls in desiccated coconut. Place balls in the fridge to harden for 1 hour. Dip the balls in the melted chocolate. Refrigerate up to 8 hours or freeze to let the chocolate harden quickly. Serve cool.
