A simple no bake vegan dessert with cashews, almonds, coconut flakes and rose petals. They are great for snacking for kids and adults alike.
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes ( small sized flakes)
- 1/2 cup almond meal / flour
- 13 to 15 Pitted dates soaked in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1 tsp dried rose petals
- additional rose petals powdered or finely chopped nuts for garnish (optional)
-
Soak the dates in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Add the dates, coconut flakes, almond meal, nuts, rose water, rose petals to a food processor and blend everything until they are smooth and sticky.
-
Check the mixture to see if they are sweet enough. If not add more dates or maple syrup or coconut sugar. (Can add 1/4 cup coarsely chopped nuts at this stage for some texture. But it is totally optional)
-
Make small balls from the dough and roll them in powdered rose petals or finely chopped nuts or even cocco powder.
-
Store it in an air tight container.
Instead of just cashews and almonds, you could add pistachios and walnuts too. Just adjust the propotion so that you get 1 cup of nuts totally.
