Ingredients you'll need...

12 pitted Medjool dates
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (+ some more for an extra touch)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup cacao powder
1 tbsp chia seeds

How to make Date Bliss Balls... 

  1. Start by soaking the dates in a bowl of water for an hour. This prepares them for the perfect texture.
  2. After an hour, drain the water from the dates. It's time to blend your ingredients! In a food processor, mix the softened dates, almond meal, coconut oil, cacao powder, and chia seeds until they form a consistent blend.
  3. Now comes the fun part - rolling! Grab a spoonful of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Roll this ball in some extra coconut for that delightful crunch.
  4. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  5. Once you have your bliss balls ready, pop them in the fridge. Let them chill for about 20-30 minutes or until they feel firm to the touch.

And there you have it – your very own batch of Date Bliss Balls!
