Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8–1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (reserve for rolling)
Instructions
- Add the cashews and 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes to a food processor and process until you get a fine sand-like texture. Add the dates and process again to combine.
- Then add the vanilla extract, spices, and salt and process again until combined. The mixture should be sticky and should hold together when pinched.
- Roll into 12-14 balls and place on a plate.
- To the empty food processor, add 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes. Process until finely ground (a few larger pieces are ok). Add to a shallow bowl.
- Roll the balls into the ground coconut to coat.
