Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 3/4 cup almonds or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start by pitting the Medjool dates if they aren’t already and lightly toast the nuts if preferred for extra flavor depth. Measure out your cacao, seeds, and other ingredients for easy access during mixing.
  2. Blend the nuts: Place the almonds or walnuts in a food processor and pulse until broken down to a coarse, crumbly texture—but not into powder.
  3. Add dates and cacao: Add your pitted dates and raw cacao powder to the nuts and pulse again until the mixture starts to come together and stick, while still retaining some texture.
  4. Incorporate remaining ingredients: Mix in shredded coconut, chia or flaxseeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse just enough to combine everything evenly without over-processing.
  5. Form into balls: Using your hands, scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before shaping.
  6. Optional coating: Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for a beautiful finishing touch and added texture.

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh Medjool dates for natural sweetness and ease of blending.
  • Do not over-process the mixture to maintain a pleasant texture and bite.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more dates or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup only if necessary.
  • If the mixture is sticky, chill for about 10 minutes to firm up before rolling.
  • Store in airtight containers to keep the bliss balls fresh and soft for up to one week refrigerated.
