Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: These delicious Apricot-Coconut Bliss Balls are easy to make and are both healthy and delicious. They are the perfect snack when you need a quick pick-me-up to power through until your next meal.
- Dried Apricots: We suggest using dried apricots that has some moisture to them and are not overly dry or stiff.
- Coconut Flakes versus Shredded Coconut: We suggest using coconut flakes and not shredded coconut. Shredded coconut is typically very finely chopped and can be used, but we do not have the measurement for shredded coconut. If using finely chopped coconut, then you may wish to scale back on the amount of coconut flakes you use.
- Amount of Sea Salt: We loved that little play on sweet and salty; however, we could see some folks not enjoying this combination. If unsure, start with a pinch or so of sea salt and add more as you go. Taste test often.
- Cashew Butter Substitutes: You can try the typical cashew substitutes: almond butter, other nut or seed butters with the understanding that the flavor and texture will change accordingly. You may need to adjust/add ingredients to compensate. We have not tested any substitutions.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 10 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
These bliss balls freeze well.
Pantry Products:
- Unsweetened Coconut Flakes: We used Bob’s Red Mill Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (Unsulfured). Feel free to use your favorite unsweetened coconut flakes.
- Cashew Butter: We used Artisana Organic Raw Vegan Cashew Butter. Feel free to use your favorite raw cashew butter in this recipe. Read the label, make sure the only ingredient is raw cashews. Do not use a salted or sweetened cashew butter.
- Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
Kitchen Equipment Used:
