Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 15 balls

Ingredients

  • 1 lightly packed cup pitted dried dates good quality such as medjool are best
  • 1/2 cup pitted dried prunes
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 2/3 cup almonds
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 5 drops orange essential oil or substitute some grated orange zest
  • 50 grams dark chocolate chopped or roughly grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. Throw everything in a food processor and blitz until finely crumbled. When you pinch some between your fingers, it should stick together.

  2. Roll into balls (roughly an inch in diameter). If you want to get fancy (and if you have the ingredients) you could roll the balls in cacao powder, crushed nuts, or desiccated coconut.
  3. Refrigerate for a couple of hours to firm up.

Recipe Notes

Ingredients do of course vary – some dates are really juicy; others are quite dry… so required quantities can also vary slightly. If your mix doesn’t hold together add a little more dried fruit or a tiny drizzle of coconut oil. If it seems too sticky, add a few more nuts.
