Calories 94cal
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted soft large Medjool dates (about 10-12 large dates)
- 1 cup raw cashews
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds or chia seeds
- Optional coating:
- ½ cup fine shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- If your dates aren’t super soft and gooey, soak them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes, then drain before using in the recipe.
- Add all ingredients 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. They’re actually delicious straight out of the freezer and that’s how I prefer them!
Notes
For an extra delicious option: feel free to roll them in toasted coconut.
