3
Gather and portion all ingredients.
4
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor.
5
Add the cocoa powder for that chocolatey flavor!
6
Blend until the nuts are well chopped and a thick “dough” starts to form, about 3-5 minutes of processing. If the ingredients are chopped into super small pieces but the dough isn’t coming together, try adding a teaspoon of water at a time (up to a tablespoon or two) to encourage everything to come together.
7
When the ingredients are well incorporated, remove the blade from the food processor.
8
Take 1 large tablespoon of the “dough” and roll between your hands to form balls
9
Toss with the coconut shreds and refrigerate for 30 mins. Serve immediatly or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for much longer.
