The February month challenge in the ‘Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge’ group was ‘Post Pregnancy Food’, suggested by Aruna. Well, I was partnered with Preethi Prasad for this theme, she gave me 2 secret ingredients Dalia and Cardamom, and I gave her the secret ingredients Dry ginger and Cumin seeds. And, as usual, using my two ingredients I have come up with this Dalia Kheer for the theme contribution.
📖 RECIPE CARD
Date Coconut Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates (pitted)
- ½ cup Cashew
- 1 cup Shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter
- ¼ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Into a large food processor fitted with a 'S' blade, add the pitted dates, coconut, cashew, peanut butter, and salt.
- Process until the mixture looks crumbly. Be careful not to over-process the mixture, as it can become quite greasy when blended for too long.
- Using a tablespoon scoop the mixture, then roll it between your hands to form balls.
- Enjoy these date coconut balls right away at room temperature, or store them in a container in the fridge.
Notes
- Instead of cashews, any other dry fruits like walnuts, or almonds can be picked.
