# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup raw cashews
02 - 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (approximately 10 dates)
03 - ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
04 - Zest of 1 large lemon
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
06 - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Fruit

08 - ½ cup freeze-dried raspberries

# How To Make:

01 - Combine cashews, pitted Medjool dates, and shredded coconut in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and mixture becomes sticky and well-integrated.
02 - Incorporate lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process until fully combined and dough holds together when pressed between fingers.
03 - Add freeze-dried raspberries to the mixture. Pulse briefly 3-4 times to distribute evenly while maintaining visible raspberry pieces for texture variation.
04 - Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll between palms to form uniform balls. Repeat until all mixture is used, yielding approximately 16 bites.
05 - For enhanced presentation and texture, roll finished bites in additional shredded coconut or finely crushed freeze-dried raspberries to create a decorative exterior coating.
06 - Arrange bites on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. Refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes to firm before serving. This step ensures proper texture and easier handling.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes with zero baking required
  • The sweet and tart flavor combo feels like eating fancy truffles without any refined sugar
02 -
  • If your dates feel dry and stiff, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes then pat them dry before processing
  • Overprocessing the raspberries turns the dough an unappealing brownish color, so pulse carefully
03 -
  • Process the cashews alone first if your food processor struggles with harder ingredients
  • Wet your hands slightly with cold water between rolling every few bites to prevent sticking
