Diamond's best date balls ever!

11-19-2008, 10:58 AM

I think I may have perfected the raw date ball recipe. They're easy and yummy and I thought I'd share:

Diamond's Date Balls

2 cups raw almonds (I did not soak them, but you could)
2 1/2 cups dates
1 1/2 tsp honey, agave nectar or other sticky sweetener
1 TBS coconut oil
dried unsweetened coconut (optional)

In the food processor, grind the almonds till pretty fine (how do I define it? lol o.k.--not powder, but well-ground)
Add the dates, honey and coconut oil. Process till dates and nuts are evenly incorporated. Make into balls. Can roll in unsweetened coconut.

I used dried dates

I didn't even soak them. I used to add cocoa powder to my mixture, but I'm finding that I prefer them this way.

You could try it in a blender. I've made similar things in my blender before I got the food processor. You may have to add more honey or oil to loosen the mixture up a little, but I think it's worth a try.
