Recipe
1 cup raw cashews
1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1/4 cup fresh squeeze lemon juice
2 Tbsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
1/3 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
How to Prepare
In a food processor, add the cashews, shredded coconut, and blend on high speed until a fine texture.
Add in the syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest.
Blend again on the high-speed setting until it forms a sticky dough that comes together.
Stir in the hemp seeds and pulse to incorporate. If the dough is too wet, add more coconut, 2 Tbsp at a time, blend on the high-speed. If the dough is too dry, add 1 Tbsp cold water at a time, blend and repeat if needed.
Scoop out one Tbsp of batter, roll into balls between your hands, then roll into the desiccated coconut to coat.
Store the balls on a plate covered with parchment while you roll the remaining batter into balls.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
