1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 1/2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
zest and juice from 3 key limes
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped (but do not pulse too long, you do not want the nuts to turn into a paste). Add the dates, lime juice and zest. Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll in coconut to coat the outside of the balls. These can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
