Chocolate Covered Pistachio Fiber Balls

Ingredients:

1 cup raw nuts (I used 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup

cashews)

1 cup medjool dates (I soaked mine in warm water first to soften)

1/4 cup Zen Basil seeds

1/4 cup cacao powder

Blend on food processor

Dip in dark chocolate

Freeze for 1 hour

Topping: pistachios

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients:

If your dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Measure out all the ingredients so you’re ready to go.

Blend the Ingredients:

In a food processor, add the walnuts, cashews, soaked dates, Zen Basil Seeds, and cacao powder.

Blend until the mixture is smooth and sticky, making sure all the nuts and dates are well combined.

Form the Balls:

Once the mixture is well blended, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.

Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Dip in Dark Chocolate:

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.

Dip each ball into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment paper.

Add Pistachio Topping:

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed pistachios over the top of each ball.

Freeze:

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
