Add all the other ingredients to the grinder/food processor except the coconut flakes and mix well until a paste forms.
Step 3
Mix the paste into the ground walnuts until well combined.
Step 4
Scatter some coconut flakes onto a plate. Now take just over a teaspoon of the mixture and roll in the coconut flakes, forming a ball as you do so. Do the same with the rest of the mixture, making approximately ten coconut-coated balls.
