¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 pinch fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For rolling

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
2 tbsp carob powder

Instructions

1
Spread the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir constantly until golden and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer immediately to a small bowl and set aside to cool.
2
Combine the dates, dried pear, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, turmeric, coconut oil, and sea salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture comes together into a cohesive, sticky mass that pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 60–90 seconds, scraping down the sides once halfway through.
