Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 12 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Add the raw almonds to a high-speed food processor and pulse until they become a coarse meal. Be careful not to over-process into almond butter.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, pitted medjool dates, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the processor with the almond meal.
Process all ingredients together until the mixture starts to come together and the dates are evenly dispersed. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion out a bit of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Optionally, roll each bliss ball in extra shredded coconut for an added layer of texture and flavor.
Place the bliss balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up.
Once chilled, store the coconut almond bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
