Carob Butter-Balls

This dessert is best when chilled. Eat sparingly though. In two-three dates there can be 25 grams of sugar.

2 cups Dates (you can presoak in Rice Milk if you like)
½ cup unsweetened Rice Milk
2 cups Raw Almond Butter
½-3/4 cup Raw Carob Powder

In a food processor or Vita Mix blender, while blade is spinning drop dates and rice milk in and blend until smooth. Continue with the almond butter and blend until incorporated (you may have to stop and stir the mixture a little to blend). Put mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in carob powder. Use enough powder to make the mixture thick and be able to ball-up. Take spoonfuls of mixture and roll between hands to make balls. Roll balls into loose carob powder. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; place balls onto cookie sheet. Chill for a few hours or overnight. You can serve them how they are or roll them again in loose carob powder and then serve.
