This coconut-date ball recipe is a variation of Lucy's Date and Nut Balls from her site, Nourish Me. I used fresh dates I had, which, when chopped up, turned into a moist paste-like consistency. So I skipped the cooking in orange juice that her recipe called for and made a couple of other minor changes, including the addition of coconut, just to try it out. Other than that, it's all Lucy's!
No-Cook Coconut Date Balls A variation of Lucy's Date and Nut Ball recipe from her site, Nourish Me. 1/2 cup minced moist, fresh Medjool dates 2 tablespoons orange juice 1/4 cup equal mix of raw sunflower and flax seeds ground up in coffee grinder (measured before grinding) 1/4 cup almond meal (fyi: 1/4c whole almonds yields approx 3/4c ground) pinch of cinnamon unsweetened coconut, as much as needed for coating the balls Add all ingredients except coconut to a mixing bowl and mix well. To shape each coconut-date-ball, take a small spoonful of the date mixture in your hand along with a small palmful of shredded coconut and roll into a ball. Repeat process until all of the date mixture is used. Yields about one dozen 1" balls. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Lucy!

Celine, it's very nice to see you! Those little things are pretty darn tasty .. quite addictive, in fact! Lucy, those dates... they are really wonderful and I have to laugh about them because every fall/winter I end up with so many it's just ridiculous. The markets display them more prominently between Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can never resist buying a 1 kg tub, but then I forget I already bought one that I hadn't finished yet... and then I do it again! Fortunately they can keep very well for quite a few months. I'm making another batch of the date balls this week, too, so will make another dent in the stash. This time I will give it a try with orange zest! Thanks again, Lucy!  |
