Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 tbsp warm water (if your dates seem dry)
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional for extra lemon flavor)
- dash salt
Instructions
- Place the dates and warm water (if necessary) in a food processor, and pulse until they form a doughy paste.
- Add the nuts, and pulse until they are broken into small pieces. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to break up the mixture if it clumps together.
- Add the lemon juice & sea salt, and give it a final pulse to mix.
- Transfer the mixture to a large Ziploc bag, and refrigerate until firm.
- Roll the mixture out on a cutting board and shape as desired. Try rolling into bite-sized balls or slicing into rectangle bars. Cookie cutters are fun too!
- Wrap in plastic wrap & store in the fridge :)
