Add the almonds and cashews into the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped (but do not pulse too long, you do not want the nuts to turn into a paste).
Add the dates, lime juice and zest into the mixture.
Pulse until the dates are finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump.
Shape the mixture into 1-1/2 inch energy balls.
Roll the balls in the coconut mixture to coat the outside.
