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
- Place cashews in a food processor and pulse until crumbly (not until smooth).
- 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.
- 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.
