Almond Balls

Almond Balls or Cook­ies
Adapted from a recipe in Jen­nifer Cornbleet’s “Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 Peo­ple“

Ingre­di­ents :

• 2 cup wal­nuts
• ¹⁄₂ cup almonds
• 1 cup almond pulp
• 1 cup Med­jhool dates
• ¹⁄₂ tsp almond extract
• Dash salt
• Coat­ing: ¼ cup ground almonds

Process wal­nuts and whole almonds first in food proces­sor until coarse.

Add rest of the ingre­di­ents except ground almonds and process some more. (Do not over process; you should still see chunks.)

Form bat­ter into balls or cook­ies.

Toss in ground almonds for coat­ing.

Chill 2 hrs before serv­ing.

This is the last course of a Mex­i­can meal Carmella pre­pared while trav­el­ing, on a park bench in Texas…[See the orig­i­nal post here].

She actu­ally made a bat­ter and used it for two recipes, which means you can also make Choco­late Balls from this same basic recipe

Carmella was inspired to make these deli­cious balls by a recipe from this book :
