Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz. pecans about 2 cups
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the powdered sugar to a food processor or blender. Pulse about 15-20 times to break down the ingredients, but avoid over-blending. A little bit of crunchy texture is a good thing!
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Use your hands or a mini ice cream scoop to roll the mixture into balls, about 1-1.5 Tablespoon each.
- Set the balls on a parchment lined tray or plate. Set in the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, up to an hour.
- Remove from the refrigerator and roll each ball in the powdered sugar until coated on all sides.
- Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy!
