Got any unwanted leftover Xmas cookies? Well, you can now turn them into these delicious energy balls! They’re made in no time and make for the perfect back-to-school snack!
I made this recipe for my “Xmas Leftovers” episodes on RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg. Find the recipe here in Luxembourgish.
50g mixed nuts (f.ex. walnuts, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds)
50g leftover Xmas cookies (f.ex. spekulatius, gingerbread)
50g dates
40g dried prunes
40g raisins
20g candied orange peel
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp honey
dessicated coconut, for rolling
Makes 20
Put the nuts and cookies into a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped but not powdery. Put into a bowl and set aside.
Roughly chop the dates and prunes and put in the food processor with the raisins, candied orange peel and honey. Pulse to a rough paste.
Add the nuts to the fruit paste with the honey, then pulse again so that it’s all combined.
Wetten your hands and roll the fruit mixture into cherry-sized balls, then roll in dessicated coconut.
These will keep for up to 2 weeks in a tupperware in the fridge.
