Ingredients
- 100 grams of creamy cashews
- 175 grams of succulent dates
- 65 grams of plump raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon of golden honey
- 3 tablespoons of luscious coconut flakes
Cooking method
1. Prepare the Cashews: Begin by gently pulsing the cashews in a high-quality blender until they’re finely ground. This step will give your date balls a delightful nutty texture.
2. Blend the Dates: In a separate blending session, process the dates until they form a smooth and sticky paste. This will be the natural sweetener and binding agent for your date balls.
3. Raspberry Bliss: Now, it’s time to turn your attention to the raspberries. Blend them until they become a vibrant and fragrant puree. If using frozen raspberries, make sure they’re thawed before blending.
4. Combine the Flavors:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely ground cashews, silky date paste, and the aromatic raspberry puree.
- Drizzle in a teaspoon of golden honey to enhance the sweetness and add a touch of natural, floral flavor.
5. Shape into Balls:
- With clean hands, blend all these delectable ingredients together until you have a uniform mixture.
- Next, form small bite-sized balls by rolling the mixture between your palms. The mixture should hold together nicely due to the sticky dates.
6. Coat in Coconut:
To add a delightful tropical twist, roll each ball in the luscious coconut flakes until they’re coated evenly. The coconut not only enhances the flavor but also adds a lovely texture.
7. Chill and Enjoy:
- Place the cashew coconut date balls in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to firm up. This will help them hold their shape.
- Once they’ve chilled, these delicious, naturally sweet treats are ready to enjoy. Serve them as a delightful snack or a guilt-free dessert
