Ingredients

  • ½ cup (60 g) hazelnuts or other nuts to taste
  • ½ cup (60 g) cashews or other nuts as desired
  • 5.6 oz (160 g) soft dates pitted, see notes*
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • a pinch of salt

Filling (optional)

Topping (optional)

Instructions 

*Note: Feel free to check out the recipe video + step-by-step pictures above!

  • Place the nuts in a food processor or blender and grind coarsely. Then add dates, cocoa powder and salt and blend to form a sticky mixture.
  • Shape the mixture into 20 small balls, each weighing about 0.5 oz (15 g).
  • Enjoy the Bliss Balls as they are or fill and decorate them. To do this use a small spoon to press a hollow in the center. Add in some nut nougat cream and seal the balls as shown in the step-by-step photos above or in the recipe video. Then roll them in cocoa powder or desiccated coconut.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Dates: If you don't have soft dates, you can use regular dried dates and soak them in hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and pat dry.
  • Nut nougat cream: it is best to chill it beforehand to make it easier to fill and seal the balls. You can also use homemade Vegan Nutella or other creamy spreads or peanut butter as a filling.
  • Storage: the Bliss Balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week or frozen for 3 months.
