Pistachio and Cacao Energy Balls
Makes 12
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes soaking
Ingredients
150g pistachios, shelled
150g Medjool dates, roughly chopped
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp shelled hemp seeds
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp tahini
For rolling:
4 tbsp pistachios, shelled and then ground
Method
Step 1: Gather and prepare your ingredients. In a small bowl, cover the dates with boiling water and leave to soak for 10 minutes, then drain.
Step 2: Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Blitz until everything is wll combined and a ball of dough is beginning to form.
Step 3: Spread the ground pistachios onto a small plate, in an even layer. Take tablespoons of dough and roll to form 12 balls. Roll each ball in the pistachios and place in an airtight container.
Step 3: Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour and then enjoy. These keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days, although they don’t last that long in our fridge as they are so delicious, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy!
