Ingredients
- 1.5 cups coconut shreds , small to medium shred, unsweetened and fresher the better
- 1 heaping cup of dates 11-12
- 1/4 cup almond butter or sun butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Toast the coconut over a skillet until golden, keep stirring after the first minute.- Let the coconut cool for 10 mins.
- Add the coconut to food processor and process to make smaller shreds, then add the dates and process until dates are evenly distributed over the coconuts- Add the salt and the almond butter and process again until the mixture forms fat, crumbs that sticks together easily.
- If the mixture is not sticking together easily, add some more almond butter or if it is too crumbly then add a tsp of oat flour or regular flour.
- Pulse a couple of times to combine. then shape into balls.
- Store them for up to a week in the refrigerator and a month in the freezer.
Notes
- For a gourmet-looking treat, you could also roll the coconut balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder before chilling. Or roll them in hemp, sesame or chia seeds.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, or chai spice to the mix. Vanilla paste is also a great addition. Some cardamom and finely ground fennel seeds would also work really well and add an Indian twist to these.
- For mess-free eating, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- If your dough isn’t sticky enough, add a couple more dates and pulse until it feels nice and sticky.
