Coconut Almond Dates Bliss Balls Raffaello Style
Coconut almond date bliss balls Raffaello style: at least as good as the “pralines” of the 1990s. Plus they are vegan and healthy. Bingo!
Ingredients
- 150 g dates pitted
- water hot, to soak the dates
- 75 g blanched almonds
- 3 tbsp oats
- 1 tbsp hulled hemp seeds
- 8 tbsp shredded coconut like desiccated coconut; 5 tbsp for the bliss blass themselves, the rest for outside
- ½ tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp coconut oil liquid
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Soak the dates for 30 minutes in hot water and drain the water.
- Finely grind almonds, oats, hemp seeds, coconut (5 tbsp), and chia seeds with the food Processor. The finer, the better.
- Then add the dates, water (2 tbsp), oil, and salt. Mix until the consistency is like a thick paste. Since the mixture is sticky, it is helpful to let it cool down a bit in the refrigerator before you proceed.
- Take about a teaspoon of the paste and shape it into a ball.
- Then put some shredded coconut on a plate and roll each ball in it.
- Place the energy balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. By the way, in the fridge, they stay fresh for a few days. I don't even store them in a box but instead on a small plate.
Notes
The energy balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. However, they will even keep for a good 3 days outside the fridge (that's how long I've tested them so far, but it's probably possible for longer) if they are left open and ready to eat on a plate. They are then just a little soft.
