Ingredients
- 210 grams cashews 1½ cups
- 12 Medjool dates pitted
- 21 grams rolled oats ¼ cup
- 150 grams freeze-dried fruit strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
- shredded coconut unsweetened, for rolling
Instructions
- Soak the cashews in water for 30 minutes to soften. Drain and pat them dry.
- Remove the pits from the dates if they still have them.
- Blend the cashews, dates, oats, and freeze-dried fruit in a food processor until a sticky dough forms. Scrape down the sides when needed.
- Scoop and roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into small balls. Roll them in shredded coconut if you like. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for a few minutes.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for later.
Notes
- Don’t skip soaking the cashews – this helps them blend into a creamy texture.
- Use fresh, soft dates for the best sticky consistency. If they’re dry, soak them!
- Scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even blending.
- Chill the dough for a few minutes if it feels too sticky to roll.
