- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the shredded coconut on a sheet pan and spread out. Transfer to the oven and toast for about 5 minutes (or until coconut is golden brown). Remove from oven.
- Place 1 cup of the toasted coconut inside a large food processor. Add the dates, almonds, chia seeds, cacao powder, instant coffee, maple syrup, and sea salt. Pulse for 3-4 minutes, or until a sticky "dough" begins to form.
