Ingredients
  

1 cup almonds, finely ground

1 cup desiccated coconut

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

2 tablespoons orange blossom water

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Zest of 1 orange

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

A pinch of salt

Extra desiccated coconut for rolling

Instructions
 

In a food processor, combine the ground almonds, desiccated coconut, pitted dates, orange blossom water, honey, orange zest, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt.

    Pulse the mixture until it becomes a sticky, cohesive dough. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.

      Once fully mixed, taste the dough and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding more honey or dates.

        With clean hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

          Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut until fully coated.

            Place the finished balls on a plate lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm up.
