Ingredients
50g cocao Melts
100g nut butter
60g pumpkin seeds/pepita
25g coconut oil
1-2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp cinnamon
100g medjool dates
pinch of sea salt
In a blender, add the cacao melts and blend until fine, though still slightly coarse (almost a bread crumb consistency).
Add the remaining ingredients and blend again, into a bread crumb consistency. Have a taste and adjust to your liking. You may want to add some more cinnamon or ginger.
Roll them into balls. (If they aren’t rolling very well or not sticking together, add more dates)
Roll the balls in a topping of your choice - desiccated coconut or ground nuts - or simply on their own!
Store them in the fridge and enjoy!
