Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried figs, chopped
• 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine the chopped figs, finely chopped walnuts, and almond flour.
2. Add the honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it comes together in a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
3. With clean hands, roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
4. Arrange the balls on a dark wooden tray for an exquisite presentation. Lightly drizzle with extra honey if desired for added gloss.
5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Helpful Tips

• If you find rolling the balls sticky, lightly moisten your hands with water or a little coconut oil.
• For extra texture, you can roll the balls in finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut before chilling.

Storage Instructions

Store these heavenly balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to a month; simply thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

• If almond flour is unavailable, you can use finely ground oat flour or coconut flour.
• Maple syrup can be substituted for honey for a different flavor profile.

Pairing Suggestions

These Walnut Fig Heaven Balls pair beautifully with a glass of rich red wine or a cup of strong black coffee. For a non-alcoholic option, try them with a cup of cinnamon-spiced tea or hot chocolate.
