Add almond butter, ginger, turmeric, and salt; process until very smooth. Add coconut mixture and pulse until just combined.
Step 4
Scoop date mixture by the level tablespoon, roll into balls in between palms, then roll in reserved chopped espresso beans, pressing slightly to adhere. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate and chill at least 1 hour.
