- Blend walnuts and cashews in food processor until they are the consistency of flour. Next add in almond flour, cacao powder and salt and process until mixed.
- Add dates (drained, if you had them soaking) and vanilla to food processor mixture and blend until mixed well. You may need to add 1-2 tbsp of water if your dates aren't moist enough. The dough should stick together when pinched.
