Cacao & apricot balls

Prep Time 15

Servings 10 balls

Ingredients

20 dried apricots (ideally organic sulphite free)
2 tbsp cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
2 tbsp honey
2 handfuls desiccated coconut
2 tsp cashew nut butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp protein powder (or oats)

Instructions

Melt the coconut oil in a pan on a low heat for a few minutes until liquid, or for 1 minute in the microwave.
On a plate, cover with 1 tbsp. cacao powder, ready to roll balls on. Prepare another clean plate for rolled balls.
Blend all remaining ingredients in a food processor, until you have a well mixed thick consistency.
Separate the mix out into 10 sections and roll into balls by hand. Note that although the balls may be quite soft now due to the melted coconut oil, they will set in the fridge. Once each ball is rolled into shape, lightly roll some of these onto the cacao powder covered plate for a variety in coatings and textures.
Place all balls on the clean plate and leave to set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
