Date and walnut ball from Grenoble

In a food processor, add:

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts, 1 tbsp carob powder

Pulse a few times for coarser nut pieces, or blend until you reach the desired consistency. Then add:

• 1 cup of pitted dates (Medjool preferred — if your dates are not soft, soak them in hot water for ten minutes, then drain and continue),
• 1/4 tsp salt, And
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Mix until the mixture sticks together.

Form into balls and refrigerate, or enjoy immediately. Bon appétit!
