• 1 1/2 cups raw walnut halves

 

• 1 cup soft dates, pitted (about 10 Medjool dates)

 

• 1 tablespoon water

 

• 1 tablespoon goji berries

 

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

 

 

Put the walnuts in a food processor fitted with the S-blade, and grind to a fine meal. Add the vanilla extract, salt, dates, and water, and process again until a sticky, uniform dough is formed.  Add the goji and pulse until mixed.

 

Scoop the batter by heaping tablespoons onto a plate or baking sheet lined with

parchment paper, to prevent sticking. Roll the balls between your hands.

 

Store the balls in the refrigerator or freezer, and serve them chilled for the most firm texture.
