ALMOND TAHINI DATE BALLS



Almond Tahini Date Balls image

Very Middle Eastern and very tasty. A somewhat sophisticated brunch treat if you will, and would also make awesome finger food for tea or a dinner party. Especially if it's one of those where the meal is light but hors d'oeuvres are heavy. And can you believe this awesome treat is healthy and vegan? I couldn't! For some ideas, try a mix of Chinese red dates (I used 100%) with traditional dates. Put in a dash of ground pistachio and/or cardamom, how about a teensy bit of honey? There's a lot more I plan on doing with that huge thing of almonds I bought at BJ's. Found on the internet somewhere, don't remember where. If this is your recipe or you know where it came from, just drop me a line so I can give credit where it is due.

Yield 15 balls, 15 serving(s)

  • Grind almonds and cinnamon in food processor until finely chopped.
  • Add tahini and continue to pulse.
  • Add dates and chop until all blended in (be careful with pits!).
  • Form into 1" balls and refrigerate.
  • Can be eaten chilled or at room temperature, and they also travel well so they make a good brown-bag dessert.

ALMOND ICED SHORTBREAD BALLS (GLUTEN FREE)



Almond Iced Shortbread Balls (Gluten Free) image

These melt in your mouth shortbread cookies are a family favorite at Christmas time. They are very delicate, so I usually make them in a one or two bite size. This recipe works best with a blend of gluten-free flours, rather than a single flour. The recipe was tested with recipe #208061.

Provided by Queen Bead

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 80 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb salted butter
4 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
4 1/2-5 cups gluten-free flour (Gluten-Free Flour Blend)
4 cups icing sugar, sifted (gluten free)
4 teaspoons almond extract
4 tablespoons water (or more)
food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine butter, sugar, and 1 cup of flour, using sturdy wooden spoon or mixer with dough hooks.
  • Add eggs and mix in thoroughly.
  • Gradually work in the remaining flour, until dough will roll into balls without being sticky.
  • Roll into one or two-bite size balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet, or silicone baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
  • Cool on cookie sheet before moving cookies to sheets of waxed paper. Space the cookies at least 1/2" apart on the waxed paper so you don't have to move them to put icing on them.
  • Combine icing ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • The icing should be runny enough to drop from a knife onto the cookies, but thick enough that it doesn't all run off. The icing will thicken as it sits. Add more water if needed.
  • To ice, leave the cookie on the waxed paper, and drop enough icing onto it to cover the top and drip down the sides a bit. While the icing is still wet, you can add little drops of icing to ensure coverage.
  • Try not to have too much icing ending up on the waxed paper, or you may not have enough for the whole batch.
  • Let the icing dry before placing in shallow storage containers, in a single layer.

Provided by BonniE !

Categories     Candies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1¾ cups unsweetened, flaked coconut
about 25 whole almonds, toasted
1 giant bar of dark chocolate - my choice is ghiradelli
2 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
  • 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
  • 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
  • 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
  • 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8. a pinch of salt
  • 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
  • 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
  • 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
  • 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
  • 13. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use blanched almonds for a smoother texture and whiter color.
  • Soak the almonds in hot water for 15 minutes to soften them and make them easier to grind.
  • Use a food processor to grind the almonds until they are very fine.
  • Add a little bit of almond extract to the mixture for a more intense almond flavor.
  • Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming it into balls, this will help the balls hold their shape.
  • Roll the balls in chopped nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder for a variety of coatings.
  • Store the almond balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Almond balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover almonds, and they make a perfect snack or dessert. With their sweet and nutty flavor, almond balls are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy sweet treat, give almond balls a try!
