Ingredients
  

Through the juicer
  • 150 g raw cashews unsalted
  • 100 g soft pitted dates about 7, each torn open and checked for pips
Stirred in
  • 1 lemon finely grated zest and 1 tbsp of the juice
  • 25 g desiccated coconut about 4 tbsp
  • 1 pinch salt
To coat
  • 25 g desiccated coconut about 4 tbsp

Equipment

  • Sana 707, 727 or 929 juicer with homogenising screen
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fine grater
  • Lined tray or plate

Method
 

Press
  1. Fit the homogenising screen, with a bowl under the end of the drum and a small container under the juice outlet.
  2. Feed the cashews and dates through in turns. Pass the dough through a second time if it is still crumbly.
Mix and roll
  1. Stir the lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut and salt into the dough. If it feels too soft to roll, chill it for 15 minutes.
  2. Roll heaped teaspoons into balls of about 20 g and roll them in the remaining coconut.
  3. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge and eat within about a week.

Notes

Contains tree nuts and coconut. Lime or orange zest works in place of lemon.
