Equipment
- 1 food processor fitted with S blade
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dates
- 3/4 cup raw pistachios
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon Boonville Barn Collective Piment d’Ville Salt or 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt and a small pinch of red chile flakes
Instructions
- Combine the pistachio and dates in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade.
- Pulse until the cashews and dates are broken down into similar-sized pieces and completely combined. About 8-10 (1-second) pulses.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and blend briefly until combined. The ingredients should start to stick together in the food processor.
- At this point either roll tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture into energy balls or form into bars. To easily form into bars: Pour the contents of the food processor onto a large piece of parchment paper. Fold the edges of the parchment up around the ingredients and use your hands and the parchment to press and mold the ingredients into a rectangle. Use lots of firm pressure from your hands for this step to ensure the ingredients stick together when slicing. Once formed into the desired sized rectangle - slice into 8 single-serve raw bars.
