- 70 g raw cashew nuts (½ cup) nut-free below
- 100 g desiccated coconut (1 cup)
- 50 g frozen raspberries (½ cup)
- 2-3 tbsp rice malt syrup or maple syrup
- 1 lemon/s zest (optional)
- 25 g desiccated coconut (¼ cup) extra to roll them in
Grind your cashew nuts in a food processor (if using a Thermomix, grind for 5 seconds, speed 7)
Add the coconut, raspberries, sweetener and optional lemon zest.
Blend to combine well (If using a Thermomix blend for 10 seconds, speed 5) and form a thick paste.
Roll into balls.
Place a little extra coconut in a small bowl to coat the balls.
Store and serve
I place them on a tray and snap freeze so they don't stick together when stored.
Then store in an airtight container in the fridge or better still the freezer and serve from frozen.
As with any raw treat, these don’t hold up to heat well. I always store them in the freezer and if packing in a lunchbox, pack from frozen and against an ice brick.
Nut-free
Substitute the cashews with toasted sunflower seeds or rolled oats (grind as you would the nuts but no longer gluten or grain-free if using oats).
