Method

  1. Place the chia seeds and espresso OR fresh orange juice into a small bowl. Set aside for about 10 minutes until the chia seeds absorb the liquid and form a gel.
  2. Add the soaked chia mixture, dates, Market almonds and all remaining ingredients to a food processor.
  3. Process until the mixture comes together into a sticky, coarse paste. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little extra almond meal or coconut and process again until it holds together easily.
  5. Wet your hands and roll about a tablespoon of the mixture into small balls.
  6. Once you have rolled all the mixtures into balls, press them into the chopped roasted almonds to coat.
  7. Place in the fridge to firm up before serving or storing in an airtight container.
