1cupwalnuts, cashews or pecans
1cupMedjool dates,pitted
1/4cupunsweetened chocolate,chopped
1/2-1teaspoonground coffee beans
1teaspoonvanilla extract

1/4cupMedjool dates,pitted
1/2cuphigh-fat coconut milk,canned
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 1/2tablespooncocoa powder,unsweetened
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add all the ingredients for the donuts (not the frosting) in a food processor and process until the mixture sticks together when pressed.
On a clean surface, roll 1/4 cup of the mixture to make a long cylinder, then stick together the ends to make a round donut shape. Make 6 donuts.
Place the donuts on the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the freezer while you prepare the frosting.
Prepare the Frosting
To make the frosting, use a small food processor (I used the small bowl of my Cuisinart food processor). Add all the ingredients for the glaze in the food processor. Process until smooth, up to 5 minutes depending on your food processor. The frosting should be creamy, smooth and lightly thick.
To frost the donuts, either spread the frosting using a butter knife or transfer the frosting to a bowl and dip the top of each donuts. There might be some leftover frosting, you can use it in other recipes or eat it as is.
Let chill in the fridge or freezer until the frosting hardens or eat it immediately. It can be eaten straight from the freezer.
Notes
If you have a weaker food processor, you might have a hard time getting the frosting smooth. You can try using soaked cashews, but you may need to reduce the amount of coconut milk.
