"These yummy cookie balls, made with shredded carrots and spices, taste just like carrot cake! Because they are completely raw, you can make them in a snap."
Recipe excerpted from Joyous Health: Eat and Live Well Without Dieting by Joy McCarthy, 2014.
¾ cup (175 mL) unsweetened shredded coconut
6 Medjool dates, pitted
¾ cup (175 mL) walnuts
½ cup (125 mL) carrots, grated
¼ cup (60 mL) hemp seeds
¼ cup (60 mL) honey
1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
½ tsp (2 mL) nutmeg
¼ tsp (1 mL) ground cloves
1. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 mL) shredded coconut in a shallow dish for rolling.
2. Place remaining ingredients in a high-powered food processor and process until fully combined.
3. Form mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and roll in reserved shredded coconut, coating balls completely.
4. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Keep chilled, or freeze in an airtight container for a few months (though I guarantee they won’t last that long). EnJOY 1 or 2 as a snack or dessert.
