- Place the Activated Almonds and Pecans into a heavy duty blender or magimix and blend on a high speed until the nuts turn into a finely cut flour like mixture.
- Add all of the ingredients including the almond and pecan mix into a bowl and bind all the ingredients together.
- Then place the mixture back in the blender or magimix until the mixture is fully mixed together and forms a slightly sticky texture.
- Then roll the mixture into balls.
- Lightly Toast the Coconut in a pan or in the oven on a very low heat. make sure to keep an eye on the coconut as it toast very quickly.
- Roll the Toasted Coconut onto the balls and serve or place in the fridge.
