COCONUT DATE ROLLS

Steps:

• Chop coconut on large mat or cutting board and set aside.
• Place almonds into food processor. Add the dates on top. Whir in the food processor until these form a paste. You will still see some crumbs or large pieces of almond - this is OK.
• Once paste is mixed it will start to form a ball. Remove from food processor and roll into 2" logs or balls.
• Roll and press thru chopped coconut. While rolling your hands may become sticky due to the sugar in the dates - just rinse your hands with cold water and you will be able to handle the mixture easily again.
• Serve chilled. Store in fridge up to 2 weeks.
• Prep time is chopping coconut and processing paste. Cooking time is rolling.
