Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1 tsp vanilla extract/powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp. of coconut oil (I use Loving Earth)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut for rolling
Instructions
- In a food processor add nuts, dried fruit, vanilla (optional) and coconut oil. Process on high for approximately 10 seconds or until mixture is malleable.
- Take a small portion (just shy of 1 tbsp.) of the mixture and roll into a ball using your hands and set aside. Repeat "ball rolling" until all of the mixture has been used.
NOTE: If the mixture doesn't hold together well, return it to food processor and add another tsp. of coconut oil before processing for another 5-10 seconds. - Once ball rolling is complete, pour the desiccated coconut onto a large dinner plate. Roll each ball in the desiccated mixture to coat.
- Transfer all finished incredi-balls to a large clean plate or board. Pop in the freezer to set. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Store in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Always ask your local health food store for sulphite free apricots and other dried fruit.
- If you want a “whiter” Christmas ball, opt for blanched or slivered almonds over whole almonds.
