Cook Time
10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw blanched almonds (cashews work as well!)
-
¼ cup Ava Jane’s Kitchen Organic Caramelized Cacao Beans
- 8 pitted dates
- 2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Directions
- Add almonds, dates, vanilla, cacao beans, cacao powder, and honey to your food processor. Pulse until a sticky paste is formed (you may have to scrape the mixture down the sides during the process a few times).
- Once the paste is smooth, roll into balls of desired size, then roll in shredded coconut to coat.
- Place in the fridge for 10-20 minutes to harden further.
- Serve chilled.
Recipe Note
*If you find the mixture too thick to where you can’t blend the ingredients in your food processor, add a teaspoon of melted coconut oil. Keep in mind you want this to be very sticky in order for the balls to form.
