Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cream Cheese (1/2 Cup)
- Maple Syrup (1/2 Cup)
- Lemons (1 Tablespoon)
- Vanilla Extract (1 Teaspoon)

STEPS:

Prepare the Carrot Cake Balls:
- In a food processor, add soaked and chopped dates and blend until a ball forms. Set aside.
- Add chopped walnuts, vanilla extract, and spices to the food processor and blend until a semi-fine meal is achieved.
- Add the dates and shredded carrots back into the food processor and pulse in one-second increments until a loose dough forms. Be careful not to over-blend.
- Add almond flour and pulse to combine. If the mixture is too thick, you may need to remove the lid and stir occasionally.
- Once well combined, add raisins and pulse or stir once more to loosely combine.
Shape the Cake Balls:
- Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and roll into balls with your hands. Place the balls directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If the mixture is too sticky to roll, add a little more almond flour to dry it out.
Chill the Cake Balls:
- Refrigerate the carrot cake balls for 30 minutes to chill.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- While the balls are chilling, make the "Cream Cheese" frosting by combining cream cheese, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a food processor or high-speed blender until smooth.
Frost the Cake Balls:
- Drizzle a generous amount of cream cheese frosting onto each chilled ball.
- Place the balls back in the fridge to set the frosting.
- Once chilled and set, serve and enjoy these delightful No-Bake Carrot Cake Balls with your favorite hot beverage or as a satisfying snack any time of the day!
