    Here's a recipe for making Date Almond Snack Balls shared by Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir on the :

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups walnuts or almonds (or any nut/seed of choice)
    • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
    • 2 cups soft Medjool dates (pitted)
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions:

    1. Process Nuts and Coconut: In a large food processor fitted with an S blade, process the walnuts and coconut until crumbly.
    2. Add Dates and Other Ingredients: Add the dates, coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt. Process again until a sticky, uniform batter forms, checking every few seconds to avoid over-processing.
    3. Form Balls: Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons and roll them between your hands to form balls. Hands might get sticky during this process.
    4. Chill: Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least an hour to set.
    5. Storage: Store the balls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer shelf life. Some prefer to eat them frozen for a harder texture.

    Optionally, you can roll the balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder before chilling for a gourmet touch 1 .
