1/4 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons coconut butter, divided
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 dates, pitted
Instructions:
In a food processor, add cashews and pulse until ground. Then add almond flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut butter (reserve remaining), coconut oil, vanilla, lemon zest, cardamom, ginger, and dates. Blend until completely combined into a malleable consistency.
Roll into 2 to 3 inch balls, and set aside. Gently heat remaining coconut butter (just until it’s liquid consistency, be careful not to burn) in microwave or in a small pot on the stove.
Drizzle coconut butter over the cashew balls, let rest for 15 minutes or until coconut butter cools to room temperature, and enjoy!
