Coconut Key Lime Pie Energy Bites
Description
This recipe blends raw cashews, soft pitted Medjool dates, and fine unsweetened shredded coconut with fresh lime zest and juice to capture the essence of key lime pie in a portable energy bite. The mixture is processed until sticky and shaped into small balls, then optionally rolled in shredded coconut for a textured exterior. These bites contain no added sugar beyond the dates and mimic the creamy, citrus-flavored notes of the dessert in a wholesome form.
The bites are stored in an airtight container and kept refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer life. They can be thawed overnight prior to eating. If dates are dry, soaking them in warm water softens them to blend smoothly. These energy bites provide a nutrient-dense snack that is easy to prepare and carry.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew nuts raw
- 1 cup Medjool dates soft, pitted, about 10 large
- ½ cup coconut fine shredded, unsweetened
- lime zest from 1
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut fine shredded, for rolling
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the extra shredded coconut to a food processor and pulse until ingredients are well combined and sticky. Roll into 14 balls. Next roll in shredded coconut if desired and place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Feel free to freeze these for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If dates are not soft, soak pitted dates in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften them for easier blending.
- Keep energy bites refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Freeze the bites to store for up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
