    per serving

Ingredients

  • 140g plain cashew nuts
  • 200g dried dates
  • 60g dried, sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ tbsp pure clear honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground black cardamom
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 100g sweetened, dried cranberries

Method

  1. Place cashews in a food processor and pulse until crumbly (not until smooth).
  2. Add dates, half of the coconut, honey, vanilla, cardamom, and salt. Process until combined. Add the dried cranberries and pulse a few times until incorporated. Mixture will be sticky.
  3. Using a small spoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into bit-sized morsels, forming them with your hands. Roll the balls in the other half of the shredded coconut.

Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. You can use other dried fruits if you prefer not to use dried cranberries. Goji berries and cherries also work well.
