125 g Cashew Nuts soaked overnight in water, reserve water
90 g Fresh Dates Destoned. If not fresh, soak in boiling water for at least half an hour to soften
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract or extract of your choice, almond, coffee etc
1 pinch Sea Salt
40 g Dessicated Coconut or Cacao Nibs, or Sesame Seeds Optional, for rolling

Blend together the cashews, dates, vanilla and sea salt until smooth (you may need to add some of the soaking water if the mixture is not coming together but please, not too much as the mixture will be too sticky).
Decant mixture into a bowl and chill for several hours until firm enough to roll into balls.
Form into balls of whatever size you desire (slightly smaller than a golf-ball is generous, anything bigger is greedy but who’s telling?).
Roll in coconut (if using) and chill for a few hours more to set up.
Note: you can also use cacao nibs, cacao powder, chia, sesame or hemp seeds or leave plain, if coconut is not your thing.
