12 fresh dates pitted
1 cup dry roasted cashews
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1¼ cups desiccated coconut
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla essence
You can swap:
Step 1
Put the dates in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside and soak for 10 minutes or until soft. Drain.
Step 2
Process the dates in a food processor until a paste forms. Add the cashews, carrot, 1 cup coconut, nutmeg and vanilla essence and process until combined.
Step 3
Place the remaining ¼ cup coconut in a bowl. Using wet hands, roll 1 tablespoon of mixture into a ball and roll in coconut to coat. Shake off excess and repeat to make 20 balls.
Step 4
Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm.
