Peel and finely grate the carrots.
Pit the dates and roughly chop them.
Blend the Base:
In a food processor, combine the grated carrots, dates, walnuts, almonds, ⅓ cup (40 g) of desiccated coconut, cinnamon powder, and salt.
Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky, coarse texture. Avoid over-blending.
Form the Balls:
Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball.
Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Coat with Coconut Flakes:
Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut to coat evenly.
Chill and Serve:
Place the balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
