Preheat the oven to 160 C fan.
Pit the dates, place them in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for 2 minutes.
Drain the dates and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the coconut oil and blend until smooth.
Add the almond butter and blend until a thick paste forms.
Scoop the mixture into 1/2 tablespoon portions onto a parchment-lined plate.
Freeze the portions while you prepare the hazelnuts.
Spread the hazelnuts on a lined tray and roast for 7 to 8 minutes.
Cool the hazelnuts, rub off most of the skins, and crush the nuts into small pieces.
Roll the chilled date mixture into balls.
Coat each ball in the crushed hazelnuts.
Freeze for about 30 minutes before serving.

Freezing the scooped mixture before rolling makes it much easier to handle.
Crush the hazelnuts into bits instead of a fine powder for better texture.
Store the finished balls in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 7 days.
