7-Ingredient Brownie Bliss Balls (Made from Almond Pulp!)
Description
7-Ingredient Brownie Bliss Balls utilize raw walnuts, sweet Medjool dates, almond pulp left over from homemade almond milk, cacao powder, hemp seeds, sea salt, and almond butter. The walnuts and almond pulp add texture and body, while cacao powder delivers deep chocolate notes. Hemp seeds contribute a subtle nuttiness and nutritious fats. After combining all ingredients in a food processor into a dough, chilling makes it easier to shape the bites.
Rolling the balls in cacao powder results in a sticky outer layer reminiscent of brownies, whereas hemp seed rolling yields a drier coating. The recipe creates about 14 servings with a concentrate of flavors in each bite, suitable as a wholesome snack or energy boost.
This recipe embraces a creative use of almond pulp by incorporating it into a dessert-like energy bite. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer preservation, maintaining the chewy texture without compromising taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnut raw
- 1/2 cup packed dates medjool is best // measured after pitting, pitted
- 2/3 cup almond pulp or sub almond meal
- 1/3 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for rolling
- 3 Tbsp hemp seed plus more for rolling
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
- 3 Tbsp almond butter or other nut or seed butter, creamy
Instructions
- Add walnuts to the food processor and pulse into a meal. Then add dates, almond pulp (or almond meal), cacao or cocoa powder, hemp seeds, sea salt, and almond butter. Mix/pulse to combine. The result should be a moist, dough-like mixture. If too wet, add a bit more cacao powder or hemp seeds.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Then scoop out rounded Tablespoon amounts (we like this scoop) and carefully form into balls — about 14 (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). The dough will be somewhat stiff, so use the warmth of your hands to gently form/roll into balls.
- Roll in extra hemp seeds or cacao powder (optional). Note: The bites get a fudgy, sticky outer texture when rolled in cacao powder — which we liked. For less-sticky bites, roll in hemp seeds, or even cacao nibs!
- Store leftovers in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 1 month.
Notes
- Walnuts may be swapped for cashews, almonds, or sunflower seeds based on availability or preference.
- See instructions on making almond meal from leftover almond pulp for freshness.
- Store bliss balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Rolling in cacao powder produces a fudgy, sticky surface; use hemp seeds or cacao nibs for a less sticky coating.
