Instructions

Prep Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and prepare a food processor or high-speed blender. Ensure dates are pitted and your avocado is ripe.
Blend and Mix: Add all ingredients to the food processor. Blend for about 3 minutes or until a sticky dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
Shape the Balls: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll between your hands to form 1-inch balls.
Coat with Cocoa: Place extra cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll each bliss ball in the cocoa until fully coated.
Chill or Enjoy: Eat immediately, or place the balls on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for an hour. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container.

Notes

Storage Tips: Keep at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Recipe Tip: If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, pop it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before rolling. This makes the process smoother and less messy—especially if the kids are helping!
For Nut-Free Bliss Balls: Swap walnuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to make these nut-free. Adjust blending time for best results.
