Chocolate Pecan Adzuki Bean Balls

01Method

1. 1

   Drain the adzuki beans through a colander and let them drain thoroughly.

2. 2

   Add the beans to a food processor along with the pitted dates, pecans, cocoa powder, about 4 tablespoons of plant-based milk, chicory syrup, vanilla paste, and a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. 4

   Roll the mixture into balls. Coat half of them in cocoa powder and the other half in finely chopped pecans.

5. 5

   Store in an airtight container in the fridge — they'll keep for about a week.
