Pumpkin Pistachio Energy Balls

Place ¼ cup pistachios in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.

Process until nuts resemble coarse sand. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Add cashews and remaining ¼ cup pistachios to the food processor and process until finely ground.

Add the dates, pumpkin purée, spices and vanilla extract and continue to process until ingredients are combined and smooth. At this point, you may adjust spices, if desired.

Using a spoon (or your hands), scoop and roll mixture into 9 equal (golf-ball-size) balls.

Roll each ball in the reserved pistachios and serve immediately or store in the freezer or the fridge.
