Hi all! it's been ages since I updated my blog, I hope to write more shortly. In the meantime, I've met many people on my travels who have asked for the recipe of my infamous bliss balls. The quick and easy recipe is below...

Main ingredients:
2 - 3 tablespoons raw cacao
3 cups walnuts
1/2 cup dates
pinch of salt
1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Optional:
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper

  • Place cacao, walnuts, dates and salt in a food processor and blend down together till there are very little chunks left from the walnuts.
  • Have a taste test and add more dates (if they need sweetening) and more cacao (if you want more chocolate).
  • Sprinkle the coconut on a large dinner plate and then scoop approx. a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands.
  • Squeeze the mixture together, then roll into balls. Roll the balls in the coconut and place on a clean plate.
  • Place in the fridge for an hour or two to set.

Raw cacao contains theobromine which is a mild stimulant similar to caffeine, and walnuts are good for the brain, so I find that indulging in a few of these from time to time can produce feelings of euphoria! Hence why they are called bliss balls :)

If you have any alternatives on this recipe, I would love to hear about them. Enjoy!

Love Lili x
