4/18/2017 0 Comments Date Nut TreatsA friend of mine shared these treats with me around Valentine's Day this year. I'd been dying for a chance to make and share them as well! I brought them to a family gathering on Friday and today there's only a couple left. I'll be making these again soon!
2 cups walnuts 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut 2 cups soft Medjool (or Noor) dates, pitted 1 1/2 TB coconut oil 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Sprinkle of cinnamon In a large food processor fitted with an 'S' blade, pulse walnuts and coconut until crumbly. Add in the dates, coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt and process again until a sticky, uniform mixture is formed. This will take a few tries and spins and you will need to scrape sides down with a slim rubber spatula. Scoop the mixture by heaping tablespoons, then roll to form balls. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place in the freezer to set for at least an hour. *You can roll lightly in coconut before freezing for fancier-looking treats. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer. Makes roughly 25 date treats.
