Winter Bliss Balls: Instant Sweet Treat
Whip up these instant bliss balls with dates and cashews for a quick, healthy, and satisfying sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 25-30 medjool dates, pitted (about 2 cups packed)
- 1 1/2 cups roasted cashews
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoon maca powder
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- pinch flaky sea salt
- melted chocolate, nuts, seeds, dried roses, cocoa or cacao powder, for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add dates, cashews, coconut flakes, cacao powder, hemp seeds, chia seeds, maca powder, orange zest, and sea salt to a food processor.
- Pulse until fully combined and the dough easily holds together when squeezed in your hand.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls.
- Optional: Roll balls in desired toppings OR dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle toppings onto the chocolate.
- Allow chocolate to set in the fridge before storing the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use soft, fresh Medjool dates for the best texture.
- If dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water. Too wet, add more nuts or coconut.
- Freeze balls for 15-20 mins after rolling for easier dipping in chocolate. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
