Dinosaur eggs (amped up bliss balls)



Ingredients

100g pitted prunes
100g dried dates
100g brazil nuts
100g LSA
3 tablespoons black sesame paste (tahini will susbtitute)
1 tablespoon raw cocoa powder
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (or a mild olive oil)
Organic dessicated coconut (about 1/3 cup)

Combine all the ingredients except the dessicated coconut in a food processor until mostly smooth, though leave some nice chunky bits. Obviously bear the age of the eaters in mind... I made these suitable for my 10 month old daughter, so none of the lumps were large enough to represent a choking hazard. Don't have a food processor? Use a portar and pestle, or finely chop the fruit, and place the nuts in a plastic bag and roll a rolling pin over them until they're smashed down,

Scoop the mixture onto a plate and, with damp hands, roll into bite size balls. Cover in dessicated coconut and place straight into a tuppperware. Once they have all been rolled, place in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.
