Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts
- 5 Medjool dates pitted
- ½ avocado ripe
- 1 tablespoon hemp seed
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder plus extra for coating
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
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.
