Method
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until the mix becomes sticky and starts to clump together. This will take time, allow up to 5 minutes. If your mixture is not able to be rolled into balls slowly add a small amount of water until the bliss ball mix comes together.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture into even-sized portions. Roll into balls. It can be useful to have damp hands and a damp spoon as this will stop the mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Optional: roll your bliss balls in coconut, cocoa powder or freeze-dried raspberry powder.
Tips
- Store bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Or you can freeze them for up to 4 months.
