Tip

Macadamia Lime Apricot Balls: Swap the cashews for macadamias, swap the sultanas for dried apricots, use lime juice instead of lemon juice, and reduce the coconut oil to 20g. Can also add a dried date or two if the apricots are not very sweet.

Nut Free: Swap nuts for 300g activated pepitas, or 350g raw pepitas.

To activate cashews, cover with water and soak for up to 6 hours, then dry in dehydrator or oven at 60C until crispy. This makes them easier to digest.

To blanch your own almonds, cover raw almonds with boiling water and leave to sit for 5 mins. Pop almond skins off with your fingers by pinching nut firmly between finger and thumb.

    I reduced the oil to 20g as per the comments but still ended up with a lot of excess oily water. I added lemon zest to strengthen the flavour.

    Thanks Jo, delicious. I made your macadamia/lime/apricot version with the 20g oil, also added some lemon zest as I had it to hand. Would possibly use a little less oil again but otherwise can't wait to make again  tmrc_emoticons.)

    I love these delicious treats! I had similar problems with the amount of oil the first time but now don't add it at all and they're perfect. Thank you for a great recipe!

    Awesome!  Love these!

     

    I made these yesterday and I used 25g coconut oil and half a lemon BUT I did not activate my cashews so I could tell once I milled the nuts and sultanas that the mix was pretty wet already.  I also have a lemon tree and the lemons are always really juicy!  Next time I will probably use 20g coconut oil.  These are so tasty for such a simple recipe made from items I had in my pantry already. So yum! Thank you Jo!

  • This is the second time I

    This is the second time I have made these. The first time I also had lots of oil and juice left at the bowl. I think it was over-milled and the oil started separating out of the cashew nuts. This time I milled the cashews and sultanas on speed 8 for 10 sec (a little bit chunkier but still delicious) and then added the other ingredients (only 15g coconut oil) and mixed on reverse speed 4 for 10 sec.

    Came out great! I even added some lemon zest for more flavour. YUM!!
