Chocolate Coated Raspberry Bliss Balls

Posted 2017-06-03 by finy ⇒ follow

These bliss balls are delicious and use dates as a sweetener instead of a refined sugar and I also used healthy raspberries. They are basically a raw dessert as the only cooking is if you cover them in chocolate which is optional.

They will still taste great without the chocolate, as the raspberries are sour and the dates give it a sweetness - I would term them sweet but tart.

Great for those on a diet with a sweet tooth!

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes to melt chocolate only
Serves: About 18 balls (depending on how big you make them)

Ingredients
½ cup desiccated coconut
1 cup almonds
1 cup frozen raspberries
3 - 4 dates, pitted
For the chocolate coating (optional)
About 50 g dark chocolate
1 tsp coconut oil

Method

Put the almonds in a blender and blend - I did mine in chunks rather than a fine powder, however either is OK.

Add the coconut, raspberries, and dates and process or blend until it is well combined - this should only take up to a minute, depending on your blender or processor.
