Calories: 96kcal
Ingredients
- 100 g raspberries
- 100 g ground almonds
- 50 g cashews
- 3 tbsp buckwheat flour
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar or leave out if you wanted refined sugar free
To coat
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut see notes for other ideas
Instructions
- Add the raspberries, ground almonds and cashews to your blender and pulse until the cashews have been broken down.
- The mixture will be quite wet at this stage, don’t worry. Add the buckwheat flour and sugar if you plan to use it and continue to pulse.
- The mixture should now come together in one large ball, this means it’s ready to roll.
- Take large marble-sized pieces of bliss ball mixture and roll in the palms of your hands, there no escaping it, you will get messy.
- Depending on the size of your balls you should easily get 12 bliss balls.
- Once all 12 have been rolled drop each one individually into a bowl of fine desiccated coconut and roll to coat, place on a plate and repeat until all balls are coated.
- Pop the plate into the fridge for 1 hour to allow the bliss balls to harden a little. These balls will not go solid as there is no added fat so they will remain soft to the bite.
Notes
Other decoration ideas are to roll your bliss balls in a freeze/air dried fruit powder or for a special treat why not coat in dark chocolate. 100g of 70% dark dairy free chocolate will be enough to cover all 12 balls.
