Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups dried cherries
-
¾ cup shelled salted pistachios
-
½ cup almond butter
-
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method
-
Combine cherries, pistachios, almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup and cinnamon in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 20 times, then process for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is crumbly but can be pressed to form a cohesive ball.
-
With wet hands (to prevent the mixture from sticking to them), squeeze about 1 tablespoon of the mixture tightly between your hands and roll into a ball. Place in a storage container. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
