Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded or flakes
  • 1/4 cup carob powder
  • 1/4 cup dates chopped
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Chop dates into small pieces and add to a small saucepan.
  • Add one cup of water to the dates. Cover the pan and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until the dates have softened.
  • Add the dates, including the liquid, to a food processor. Also add the nuts, coconut, and carob powder. Process for about 5 minutes-- until you form a fudgy batter. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, as needed.
  • Scoop out the batter using a one-tablespoon measuring spoon. Form into small balsl and roll in some shredded coconut (I often use about a cup of shredded coconut on a sheet of wax paper).
  • Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Or you can freeze them until you're ready to serve.
