LEMON LAVENDER TRUFFLE BITES
When you’re vegan, health and sugar conscious but also extremely lazy or incapable of putting together anything that resembles edible food, it’s best that you stick with foods that you can roll (burritos), eat out of a jar or compile simply (microwave, sandwich layering, adding water).
So, here’s a dessert that I really would like to try. And by all means, if you find the ingredient to be foreign or unavailable, just substitute it with either NOTHING at all or something similar. For example, lavender will be a killer to find. So if you can’t? Don’t worry about it. Just work with what you have.
Recipe:
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 tbsp. coconut flour
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- ½ tbsp. coconut oil
- 1 tsp. culinary lavender
- 1 tsp. lemon zest + 1 tsp. for topping
- 2 soft pitted dates (soak in warm water for 5 minutes to soften)
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
PREPARATION
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Blend the cashews in a food processor until they become a cashew meal. Toss in remaining ingredients and process until well combined. Take a heaping tablespoon and roll into a ball in the palms of your hand and place on parchment paper. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. Top with remaining lemon zest and serve or store in the refrigerator.
