Ingredients
- 14 Medjool dates, pitted
- 120g ground almonds
- 1 tsp. turmeric powder
- A pinch of Lucy Bee Whole Black Peppercorns, ground
- A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- ¼- ½ tsp. cinnamon powder, to taste
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 125g dairy-free dark chocolate, melted
- Dried rose petals or desiccated coconut or Cacao Powder - all optional for topping
Method
- In a high-speed blender, blend the Medjool dates, ground almonds, turmeric powder, ground Lucy Bee Whole Black Peppercorns, grated ginger, vanilla extract and lemon juice, until fully combined into a very thick paste.
- Add the cinnamon and adjust to taste*. Add the chia seeds and blend until combined.
- Using a teaspoon as a measure, spoon out a heaped teaspoon of the mixture at a time and roll into little balls (it might help to wet your hands to do this to prevent the mixture sticking to you).
- Roll the balls in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with your optional toppings(s). Place onto a tray and refrigerate to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- *Tip: if you want a slightly firmer/drier bite, add more ground almonds to achieve desired consistency.
