Containing dried fruit and nuts, these easy-to-make energy balls are a healthier go-to when you're having a sweet craving
1 Blend the prunes, apricots, almonds and walnuts in the food processor until they form a paste.
2 Add the remaining ingredients, reserving a little of the desiccated coconut, cocoa powder and orange zest for decoration, and blend again to form a thick, sticky paste. Don’t over-blend, as the mixture should be quite coarse.
3 Roll the mixture into a sausage shape and cut into 16 pieces, then roll each piece into a ball.
4 Roll 4 of the balls in cocoa powder, 4 in coconut and 4 in orange zest to decorate and store in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will keep for a week.
You could add other nuts or dried fruits to the recipe, or try making the balls with sunflower, sesame or pumpkin seeds instead of nuts.
