It is ridiculously easy! Start by gathering up your five ingredients.
Then, add the pecans, ground almonds, dates and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until the ingredients form a dough.
Next, shape the mixture into evenly-sized balls and arrange them in a single layer in the freezer for half an hour.
