1: Combine all ingredients in a high speed food processor. If food processor is not very powerful, give the nuts a head start by blending them for a bit on their own before adding other ingredients.

2: If the mixture isn’t coming together, gradually add a small amount of water. The walnuts will begin to release oils as you mix though so be patient.

3: Once you have a sticky batter consistency, stop mixing.

4: Sprinkle some desiccated coconut onto a small plate.

5: Scoop out dollops with a spoon and roll into balls with your hands. They may be oily at first. If they’re really sticky, wet your hands slightly.

6: Roll the balls into the coconut to coat the outside and place onto a tray or plate coated with grease, proof paper.

Store in the fridge or freezer.
