Quantity: 6-8 balls
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Severity: light
It will take:

• 80g walnuts
• 1 small finely grated carrot
• 7 soft dates without stones

• food processor

How to make carrot balls?

Place the walnuts in a food processor and process until the nuts are crushed. Then add all the remaining ingredients except the coconut flakes to the nut mixture and process until the mixture reaches a smooth, malleable consistency. Then form the dough into balls and roll in the coconut flakes. Put in the fridge for a couple of hours to set and the balls are ready to enjoy.

PS! The balls are also suitable to eat as soon as they are cooked, but they will become a bit more solid and flavourful if they are left in the fridge, so it is recommended to let them “rest” in the fridge before eating.
