Start by processing cashew butter, dates, cashews, and unsweetened shredded coconut in a high-powered food processor or blender. To help cut back on prep time, you can even add the cashews first to get them into the consistency of your liking before adding the other ingredients. You can also mix by hand if that’s easier.
Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough out evenly, then roll into 10 balls. Set on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until the dough is just hardened. Roll the cashew butter balls in more shredded coconut, and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to grab for a quick on-the-go snack!
Tips:
- Don’t have cashew butter? Try almond butter instead.
- You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds for a little extra crunch. Just be sure not to blend until smooth!
- Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even ginger for a little extra spice.
