Raw Walnut Cacao Balls

An indulgent treat, without too much guilt.

• 1 cup walnut halves ( finely chopped )
• 2 and 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup pitted dates
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon water ( optional )

Method

1. In a food processor grind down the walnut halves to a fine meal.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients ( except the water ) until a sticky dough is formed. 
3. If the mixture is still too dry, then add a tablespoon of water to the mix.
4. Take out a heaped teaspoon of the mixture and roll into a ball shape in your hands. 
5. Continue until all mixture is used up.
6. Store in the fridge or the freezer and serve cool.
