Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cashews
- 20 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, natural
- 2 TBS honey (sub maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1/2 tsp water, divided
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup dried strawberries
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- PEANUT BUTTER SIDE: To the base of a food processor, add cashews. Pulse until cashews are the texture of sand. Add 10 dates, peanut butter and honey. Process on high until the ingredients form a dough. You may have to use a rubber spatula to even out dough if it gets stuck in the processor. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 tsp of water and continue to blend until combined, about 2 minutes. Use a 1/2 TBS measuring spoon to measure out dough. Roll between palms to form balls, set each formed ball aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- JELLY SIDE: To the base of a food processor, add almonds. Pulse until almonds are the texture of sand. Add 10 dates, dried strawberries and pinch of sea salt. Process on high until the ingredients form a dough. If dough is too dry add the remaining 1/4 tsp of water and continue to blend until combined, about 2 minutes. Use a 1/2 TBS measuring spoon to measure out dough. Roll between palms to form balls, set each formed ball aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- ASSEMBLY. Take 1 peanut butter energy ball and 1 jelly energy ball and smash them together. Use balms to roll them together into 1 ball. Refrigerate at least 1 hour prior to serving.
