Preheat your oven to 160 deg C
Line a baking tray with baking paper
Place 200 gm of fresh cherries , pitted and halved on the baking tray and bake for 15 minutes .
Place the cherry stems in a bowl and set aside .
Remove cherries from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes .
Now place the cherries , and two sliced and pitted medjool dates into a processor along with 1 cup of desiccated coconut and 3 tbs of melted coconut oil .
Pulse till the cherry mixture comes together .
Roll the mixture into cherry sized balls and insert the stem in the centre of each ball .
Place these on another lined tray and transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes .
When the cherry balls are firm , place 250 gm of raw dark chocolate ...I used Lindt 80 % dark chocolate chopped , and melted it in the microwave 1 minute on high .
Now I dipped the cherries into the chocolate , making sure they were completely covered .
Place them back on the lined tray .
Place in refrigerator and chill till the chocolate sets .
Store in an airtight container in the fridge .
