Equipment
Method
- Start by combining the pitted dates, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a sticky and cohesive dough.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Once mixed, dampen your hands with a little water and scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form bite-sized discs.
- Place the candy bites on a lined baking sheet.
- If desired, roll the bites in additional coconut flakes to coat them evenly for a nice finish.
- Refrigerate the bites for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once set, enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
