Notes
- Bliss balls will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks, with a sheet of wax paper between the layers.
- They freeze well and will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge or on the counter before eating.
- select good ingredients for best results
- use medjool dates for their large size, softness, high moisture content and wonderful flavour
- soak the dates for a couple of minutes before blending for extra moisture
- coarsely grind the nuts taking care not to grind them to too fine a powder
- increase the size of the balls or make them smaller, it's entirely up to you.
- roll the balls in cocoa powder, cocoa protein powder or raw cacao powder for extra flavour and to make them less sticky.
- double the ingredients to double the number of bliss balls.
