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
- Place the Medjool dates into the food processor, process for 30 to 45 seconds, until the dates are thoroughly chopped into tiny pieces.
- 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.
- Next add all the remaining Base Ingredients and process until the mixture comes together by testing the mixture.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the plate in the freezer for 30 minutes or until very firm.
- Once firm, move to an air-tight container, then store them in the refrigerator. They also freeze well.
