Frequently Asked Questions About Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Ball
How do you make a Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Ball?

Are Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls healthy?
Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls provide fiber and calcium, and make a convenient sweet snack. Their dried-fruit ingredients also contribute natural sugars, so a small portion is a sensible choice if you are watching how much sweet food you eat.
Do Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls need to be baked?
No, Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls do not need to be baked. The ingredients are blended and shaped, then chilled so the balls firm up; baking can dry them out and is unnecessary for a basic no-bake recipe.
How should you store Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls?
Store Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Chilling helps them hold their shape and keeps the sticky fruit mixture from picking up other food odors.
Can you freeze Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls?

What can you use instead of tahini in Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls?
You can replace tahini in Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls with another smooth seed or nut butter, such as sunflower-seed butter or almond butter. The flavor will change, and you may need to adjust the amount to keep the mixture easy to roll.
Why are my Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls crumbly?
Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls crumble when the mixture is too dry or the dried fruit has not been blended enough. Process the fruit until sticky, then add tahini a little at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Can you use fresh figs in Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls?
You can use fresh figs, but they add more moisture than dried figs and can make Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls soft or difficult to shape. Chill the mixture, or add a little more dry ingredient until it holds together.
Are Fig, Date and Tahini Energy Balls good before a workout?

A fig, date and tahini energy ball brings dried figs and dates together with tahini, shaped into a small, usually no-bake bite. It is a contemporary snack rather than a dish with one clearly established place of origin, drawing on familiar ingredients from several food traditions.
