Description

Not only are these incredibly Raspberry Bliss Balls easy to whip up, but they also pack a punch of flavor and wholesome ingredients, making them the perfect guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 – [ 1.2 oz. (34g) package ] freeze-dried whole raspberries (1 ½ cups)
  • 7 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 3 Tablespoons cashew butter *
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon hot water (+/-)
  • Pinch sea salt *

Optional Rolling Ingredients:

  • ¼ to ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon crushed freeze-dried raspberry dust *

Instructions

  1. Place the Medjool dates into the food processor, process for 30 to 45 seconds, until the dates are thoroughly chopped into tiny pieces.
  2. Then place the freeze-dried raspberries into the food processor along with the chopped Medjool dates, process for 30 seconds or until the raspberries are thoroughly chopped into a powder-like consistency.
  3. Next add all the remaining Base Ingredients and process until the mixture comes together by testing the mixture.
  4. Test the “dough mixture” by pinching it to see if it holds together easily. If too dry, add an additional ½ to 1 teaspoon of hot tap water. Continue until the dough holds together nicely. If too wet, add a teaspoon of shredded coconut and process.
  5. When the “dough” holds it shape, scoop up 1 tablespoon (or a small cookie scoop) of the mixture, roll into a firm ball and set on a parchment paper lined plate. Repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
  6. If rolling in optional coconut/raspberry dust coating, then place the unsweetened shredded coconut into a small bowl along with the crushed freeze-dried raspberry dust*, stir well to mix, then roll the raspberry bliss balls in the mixture to coat, repeat until the desired number are rolled and coated.
  7. Place the plate in the freezer for 30 minutes or until very firm.
  8. Once firm, move to an air-tight container, then store them in the refrigerator. They also freeze well.
