Ingredients

  • 2 cups pecans
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups medjool dates pitted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the pecans and coconut to your food processor and process until chopped and fine.
  • Add the pitted dates and vanilla and process again until the mixture is crumbly and sticky. You don't want to do this for too long, or it will become a little oily.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the mixture and then roll into a ball and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for an hour and then store in a Tupperware in the fridge for up to 1 week.
