Time 15m

Yield 12 to 15 bites

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups dried dates, pitted
1/4 cup raw walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the dates to create a thick paste. Add the walnuts, vanilla and 1/4 cup of the coconut and pulse until incorporated and a thick paste forms again. Using a spatula, transfer the date mixture to a medium bowl.
  • Pour the remaining 1/4 cup coconut into a separate small, shallow bowl.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the date mixture and, with clean hands, work into a small rectangular bar 2 to 2 1/2 inches by 1 inch (or roll into balls). Coat the date bar with the coconut in the bowl, delicately pressing the coconut onto the bar. Continue with the remaining date mixture and coconut.
  • Serve in mini paper cupcake liners. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
