Put the dates (ensure they are pitted) into a blender and pulse until well chopped

Set the dates aside and add the remaining ingredients to the blender (only adding about half of the desiccated coconut)

Pulse until the almonds are ground

Add the dates back to the rest of the ingredients and pulse until everything is mixed together

Sprinkle the remaining desiccated coconut onto a plate

Roll some mixture from the blender into a little ball and roll in the coconut in order to coat them 

Repeat until all of the mixture is used up

Enjoy
