Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least one hour, drained
- 3 TBSP maca flour
- 1 TBSP ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 90 g metjool dates, pitted ((about 8 dates))
- 1 TBSP olive oil, as needed
- ½ cup sesame seeds (toasted or raw to taste)
Instructions
- In your food processor: Using the "S" blade, process the cashews until they are finely chopped. Add the maca flour and salt. Pulse 5 times to combine.
- Add the dates and process until the mixture resembles a fine meal. If needed, add olive oil little by little until the mixture will adhere and form small balls.
- Using a #70 or 1 TBSP scoop, make small cashew balls and roll them in sesame seeds until they are covered.
- The balls will hold together well after a couple of hours in the refrigerator.
