choc almond bliss balls
This is one of the first recipes I ever created and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to post it on my website!! This is a family favourite so I am thrilled to share it with you so you can make it and share it with the people you love!
recipe (makes 18)
ingredients
1 cup Medjool dates
2 tbsp natural nut butter (almond/cashew/roasted peanut)
1 cup raw almonds
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp water
method
1. In a food processor place the dates, almond butter, half of the almonds, cacao, salt, cinnamon. Start blitzing, adding the water as you need it to create a paste that holds itself together when you roll it.
2. Chop up the rest of the almonds and put them on a flat plate.
3. Roll the paste into tbsp sized balls and coat with the chopped almonds.
4.Place all the energy balls on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper and put them in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight) to set.
5. Transfer to an air tight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
tips
Tip 1 - These bliss balls are also super delicious when they’re coated in shredded coconut!
Tip 2 - For an even nuttier and moorish bliss ball, roast the almonds first and then follow the recipe.
