- Bliss Balls: Blend all ingredients together until it becomes a well combined mixture and the Coconut is sufficiently processed so that it’s soft.
- Bliss Balls: Firmly press and roll small balls of the mixture into Bliss Balls.
- Chocolate Outer Layer: Blend all ingredients together until smooth (include the water the Dates were soaked in) and using a spoon, cover the Bliss Balls.
- Optional: Sprinkle the Bliss Balls with Raw Cacao Power, Cacao nibs and/or desiccated Coconut. Decorate with fresh Mint. Place in the fridge to set for 15+ min.
*Enjoy straight away or store in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer. Eat within 1-2 days.
*Pressing mixture into Bliss Balls: You may need a little ‘elbow grease’ to press the mixture into balls. I usually take a handful and just keep pressing very firmly, and keep adding more mixture until I have desired size and the mixtures sticks together properly.
*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:
-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.
-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.
- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.
-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative.
-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water.
-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).
