Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
2/3 cup cashews (toasted if desired)
3 tablespoons agave syrup

1 tablespoon water
4 tablespoons desiccated coconut (divided)

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, blitz the oats and cashews until you have a fine meal, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the agave syrup, vanilla, salt, and water and blitz again briefly, just until the mixture resembles wet cookie dough.
  • Dump the mixture into a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the desiccated coconut. Shape into small balls. Place the remaining coconut on a plate and roll the balls to fully coat with coconut.
  • Stored in a tin or jar in the refrigerator, the no-bake snowballs will keep for about a week.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best texture, use a food processor to finely chop the dried apricots. This will help them blend seamlessly with the other ingredients and create a smooth, cohesive mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of different nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to enhance the taste.
  • If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup to help bind the ingredients together. Alternatively, if the mixture is too wet, add more shredded coconut or almond flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Roll the balls in finely chopped nuts or coconut flakes for an extra layer of texture and flavor. This will also help prevent the balls from sticking to each other.
  • Store the apricot snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
