Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 1 1/2 cups Medjool dates*, pitted
• zest and juice from 3 key limes
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut – shredded or desiccated.

Directions:

Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped (but do not pulse too long, you do not want the nuts to turn into a paste). Add the dates, lime juice and zest. Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. Shape the mixture into 3 – 4cm balls. Roll in coconut and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator
