Ingredients
  

1 cup raw pistachios, shelled

1 cup medjool dates, pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for coating

1 tablespoon rose water

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

Edible rose petals for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pistachios: In a food processor, add the shelled pistachios. Pulse gently until they are chopped into a coarse texture. Be cautious not to over-process to avoid turning them into butter.

    Add Dates and Coconut: To the chopped pistachios, add the pitted medjool dates and the shredded coconut. Blend the mixture until it begins to clump together, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor.

      Incorporate Flavors: Add the rose water, honey or maple syrup (if you prefer extra sweetness), sea salt, and ground cardamom into the mixture. Blend again until the ingredients are fully combined, resulting in a sticky dough-like consistency.

        Form the Bites: With clean hands, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet to keep them from sticking.

          Coat with Coconut (Optional): For an added touch, roll each energy bite in extra shredded coconut or minced pistachios to create a decorative and flavorful coating.

            Chill: Refrigerate the baking sheet with the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up to the perfect bite-sized texture.

              Garnish: If desired, sprinkle edible rose petals delicately over the chilled energy bites before serving. This adds a beautiful visual element and an aromatic touch.

                Store: Carefully transfer the chilled energy bites into an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for prolonged freshness.
