Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cashews
- 2 cups soft, pitted Deglet Noor dates
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour, divided
- Optional: naturally-colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a food processor and process until they are completely broken down and come together in a creamy paste. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Add the dates and vanilla and process until they come together in a sticky ball.
- Next, add half of the almond flour and pulse until just combined.
- Remove the s-blade from the food processor and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup almond flour.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the “batter” and then use your hands to form a ball and place them on a tray. If you choose to use sprinkles, add sprinkles to a plate and roll each ball in sprinkles, gently pressing them in as needed.
- Place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the balls to firm. Keep these stored in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
