Serves: 10-12 individual balls
Ingredients
2 heaping cups of pitted dates
2 level cups of walnuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt (optional)
Preparation
Using your food processor, combine these ingredients until you reach a consistency, of course, sand. Pinch some of the mixtures between your fingers. If it sticks, it’s ready to form into balls. If it is not sticking, add a few more dates, turn on the food processor, and check the level of ‘stickiness’ until the correct consistency is reached.
Using a smaller-sized ice cream scoop, scoop level amounts to form balls. Pressing the nut/date mixture in your palms as you form the balls would be best. They will feel oily from the natural oil released from the nuts.
Refrigerate for up to a week.
