Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 c. cashews
  • 1 c. walnuts
  • 1/2 c. hemp seeds
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 c. raisins
  • 10 dates
  • 1 tsp molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 drops ginger oil or 1-2 tbsp fresh ginger (or both..depending on your desired taste)
  • 1 tbsp water or non dairy milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder

Instructions

  • Blend nuts and cocoa powder in a food processor (NOT a blender. This is nearly impossible to do in a blender)
  • Add dates and raisins and blend. (If you're using fresh ginger, now would be the time to add it)
  • In a small dish, mix molasses/water/ginger oil, and then poor into the processor while it's blending to insure an even distribution of the oil. Blend until well mixed.
  • Roll into balls (to make about 20, use a tablespoons worth). Have a small bowl of water set aside to wet your hands with as you go to prevent the mixture sticking to your palms.
  • Mix coconut sugar and ginger powder in a small dish and lightly roll balls into said mixture. (You’ll typically have a more left over for more balls)
  • Chill.
  • Enjoy.
