Ingredients
- ½ cup dates (~6 large)
- 1 cup walnuts (unsalted)
- ½ cup cashews (unsalted)
- ½ cup small coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tbsp unsalted nut butter (almond or cashew)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- sesame seeds (black or white)
Instructions
- Soak pitted dates in water for 5 minutes to soften. Drain.
- Combine nuts, coconut flakes, spices and dates into a food processor and pulse until mixed loosely.
- Add everything else in and process until fully combined. Add water, 1 tsp at a time, if it needs help coming together. Scraping down the sides here and there helps.
- Roll into balls and then roll in a plate of sesame seeds. I used black + white, but either works!
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for one month. They’re best just out of the fridge as they will soften at room temperature.
