1. Blend the pitted dates into a paste.

2. In a pan, dry roast the blanched almond flour, cocoa powder and whole wheat flour on low heat until fragrant.

3. Transfer the roasted flour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the blended date paste and add in the reduced fat coconut milk spoon by spoon, kneading the mixture into a dough.

4. Cover the dough with a cling film and and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

5. Evenly spread the dried desiccated coconut flakes on a flat dry tray.

6. On the side, prepare the red bean paste. Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and roll the red bean paste into a long roll and cut into equal portions of roughly an inch in length. In between the palms of your hands, roll into smooth round balls. Keep them covered with a muslin cloth until further use.

7. Place a separate piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and roll the kneaded dough into a long roll and cut into equal portions of roughly an inch in length. In between the palms of your hands, roll into smooth round pieces of dough. Flatten each piece with your palms. Keep them covered with a damp muslin cloth.

8. Take one ball of red bean paste and place it on top of a flattened piece of dough. Use the forefinger and thumb of your non-dominant hand to form a closed circle and place the red bean paste ball inside the cavity skin of the rolled dough cover formed by your two fingers. Gradually press down and rotate the red bean paste ball as you gradually use the forefinger and thumb of your non-dominant hand to gather and seal the edges of the dough cover around the red bean paste ball. Continue until the edges of the ball are completely sealed. Use your palms and roll the ball again.

9. In a medium sized saucepan, heat the water until it boils. Drop the balls in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes until all the balls float. Transfer the cooked balls into a bowl of cold water.

10. Spread the coconut flakes evenly over a clean dry tray.

11. Drain the cooked balls and place them on the desiccated coconut flakes. Roll gently to evenly coat all the sides.

12. Serve and enjoy.
