Step 1

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the nuts into the food processor and blend until coarse. Add dates and shredded coconut and blend. Remove from the food processor.

Step 3

Place cooled lentils in food processor. Add peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, water and cacao. Puree to a smooth paste.

Step 4

Add nut mixture back into food processor with all remaining ingredients except the desiccated coconut, and blend until combined. Mixture should combine to form balls easily.
