Ingredients

12, pitted (300g) Medjool Dates — The binder and the entire sweetener. Soak them ten minutes in hot water if they are not soft.
1 1/4 cups (100g) Desiccated Coconut — Half in the mix, half for rolling. It provides the structure that stops these being sticky lumps.
3/4 cup (100g) Cashews — Blitzed first, on their own, into a coarse meal. Added whole they never break down properly.
1/2 tsp (3g) Vanilla — It rounds out what is otherwise just very concentrated fruit.
