Ingredients
- 2 cups dates pitted (300 g)
- 2 oz almond meal 60 g
- 1 oz instant oats 30 g
- 2 oz cocoa powder 60 g
- ½ cup almond butter 130 g
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 tbsp water if needed
Coatings
- Crushed almonds
- Cocoa powder
- Melted chocolate optional
Instructions
- Soak the pitted dates in a small bowl in hot water for 15 minutes if needed, then drain well.
- Add the dates along with all of the other ingredients except for the water to your food processor. Pulse and blend on low until a crumbly texture forms.
- Increase the speed and add a splash of water if needed until you are left with a sticky mixture. This might take 1-2 minutes.
- Check to see if a good texture is achieved — if it’s too sticky to form bliss balls, add more almond meal or oats. If it’s too dry, add some more water.
- Scoop the mixture with a spoon or use wetted hands to shape little balls. Depending on your preferred size, you may end up with more or fewer chocolate bliss balls.
- If you want to add some coatings, put cocoa powder or crushed almonds in a small bowl and roll the formed balls until evenly coated.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for half an hour before serving.
- The chocolate bliss balls can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Notes
- You can easily create peanut butter chocolate bliss balls by using peanut butter instead of almond butter!
- If you don’t have almond meal on hand, simply put 2 ounces of almonds into your blender or food processor and create a medium-fine powder before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- For more sweetness, simply add 1 tbsp of vegan syrup and reduce any added water.
