Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 3/4 cup Desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Remove the pits from the Medjool dates and place them in a bowl filled with warm water to soften for about 10 minutes.
In a food processor, blend the raw almonds until they achieve a coarse, crumbly texture. Avoid over-processing to prevent turning them into almond butter.
Drain the dates and add them to the food processor along with the desiccated coconut, chia seeds, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes well combined and starts to form a sticky dough. If it's too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it between your palms to form small, even balls.
Optional: Roll each ball in additional desiccated coconut for an extra coconutty coating.
Place the bliss balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
