A delicious healthy truffle-like ball of goodness that is perfect as a snack or dip in chocolate for a decadent but healthy treat.
1 + 1/2 cup cashews
1 cup dates
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup brown rice puffs *lightly toasted under the grill
1 tbs peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
desiccated coconut for rolling *optional - toast the coconut before rolling
Optional: cooking dark chocolate or our Vegan Dark Chocolate to dip them in
1. Place all ingredients except the brown rice puffs in food processor and pulse a few times to break up the dates and then blend on high until a fine sticky crumble.
2. Add the brown rice puffs and blend altogether until a medium crunchy texture. To test if they are sticky enough, use the back of a spoon and press the mixture into the side of the processor bowl, if mixture sticks down firm, then it is ready to roll into balls. If it is too crumbly and dry, blend some more. The finer and stickier the mixture, the easier and quicker they will roll.
3. Roll into balls with your hands. We would weigh ours out into 50g balls for snack size or do smaller 20g-25g balls for bite sized. Either roll in toasted coconut and set in the fridge. Or dip into melted dark chocolate. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Recipe notes:
- Swap out the almonds with any other raw nut, we recommend hazelnut, brazil nut, cashew or macadamia.
- Use a pure nut butter made from 100 per cent nuts to ensure you're not getting unexpected added sugar.
- If you prefer, dip the bliss balls in melted chocolate. Try our vegan dark chocolate recipe.
