Ingredients
- ▢1 cup packed, soft pitted dates, 240 g
- ▢1 cup raw pecans, 140 g
- ▢1/2 tsp sea salt
- ▢1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend Dough: Place all ingredients in a food processor. Mix until it forms a thick, sticky dough you can press together between your fingers. If it’s not sticking together (it should if your dates were soft), add 1 tsp warm water and process again. Repeat as needed until the dough is rollable.
- Roll Pecan Balls: Using your hands, roll the dough into 12 bite-sized balls.
Notes
Dates: It’s impotant to use soft, moist dates in this recipe as they create the “dough”. If your dates are overly dry, place them in a bowl (pit first) and soak in hot water for 15 minutes. After soaking, drain well and proceed with the recipe.
Storage: Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
