Anirushkas

Ingredients:

• 1 cup organic pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup organic sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup organic poppy seeds
• 1/2 cup organic coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup organic pitted dates
• 100% dark chocolate (for coating)
• Sesame seeds (for decoration)
• Optional: 2 tbsp water (if the mixture is too dry)

Instructions:
 

Prepare the Mixture:

• Combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, coconut flakes, and pitted dates in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is well-combined and sticky.
• If the mixture feels too dry to shape, add up to 2 tablespoons of water to achieve a consistency that holds together.

Shape the Balls:

• Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Melt the Chocolate:

• Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

Coat the Balls:

• Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined tray.

Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds:

• While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a decorative and nutty finish.

Chill:

• Place the tray in the fridge for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
