COCONUT DATE ROLLS

These are a great treat if you need something sweet without the guilt. Only three ingredients! It doesn't get any easier! We love these. They are great as gifts during the holidays. They taste best cold right out of the fridge. Do remember to keep them refrigerated. They can be frozen as well. I usually use the sweetened coconut as that is all I can find locally.

Time 20m

Yield 24 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup almonds
1 lb pitted dates
1 cup coconut, chopped (sweetened or unsweetened)

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.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups dried dates, pitted
1/4 cup raw walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • Pour the remaining 1/4 cup coconut into a separate small, shallow bowl.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the date mixture and, with clean hands, work into a small rectangular bar 2 to 2 1/2 inches by 1 inch (or roll into balls). Coat the date bar with the coconut in the bowl, delicately pressing the coconut onto the bar. Continue with the remaining date mixture and coconut.

The on-the-go, travel-light snack bar. Derived from a famous raw food bar and the ultimate in 'foodie!' This is a great snack for the active lifestyle and impressive to hand out to others. As an outdoor professional I take these in the back country and they need not be refrigerated and give great energy. Cut into bars and enjoy or wrap individually for on the go.
