Key Lime Coconut Bites
Tasty treats at home, or nourishing nuggets on the trail.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Chill time: 2+ hours
Servings: 6-8
Kitchen equipment you’ll need: food processor
Ingredients:
½ cup almonds
½ cup cashews
1 ½ cups dried dates, pitted
zest and juice from 3 key limes*
½ cup unsweetened coconut, shredded
*regular limes will do if you don’t have key limes
Directions:
Add the almonds and cashews to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped (but don’t blend too long; you don’t want the nuts to turn into a paste).
Add the dates, lime juice and zest. Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump. Shape the mixture into 1 ½ inch balls.
Roll in coconut to coat outside of the balls. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keep refrigerated until serving.
