Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 3 small oranges, juiced
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
  • 1/2 cup dates, pitted & chopped

Instructions

  • Process cashews in a food processor until a fine powder is formed.  Add orange juice, dates, & coconut and process until dough forms.
  • Sprinkle extra coconut onto parchment paper.  Roll dough into about 30 small balls and then roll in extra coconut to coat.  Place balls in an airtight container and refrigerate until hard, about 1 hour.
