Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine dates, almonds, shredded coconut, coconut oil, cacao powder (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
- Process the mixture until it forms a sticky dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a small amount of water (1-2 tablespoons) to help bind it together.
- Once the mixture is well combined, take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- Roll each ball in some extra shredded coconut to coat the exterior.
- Place the bliss balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
