Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Dried dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cup Dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted dried dates, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and almonds. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and starts to clump together.
Add the shredded unsweetened coconut, honey, vanilla extract, and coconut oil to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
Using clean hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 12 coconut fruit balls.
If desired, spread the extra shredded coconut on a plate and roll each ball in it until evenly coated.
Arrange the coconut fruit balls on a serving plate or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
