Orange Cacao Bliss Balls

Orange Cacao Bliss Balls
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees F 82.2 degrees C. Line a baking tray with paper
Add almonds to baking tray and toast toast for 4 minutes
Remove pit from dates and discard
Add almonds to a food processor and blitz to combine
Add dates and blitz again
Cut orange in ½. Juice one half and slice the juiced half and rind into pieces (use orange juice for other purpose)
Add dates and blitz again
Pour in ½ coconut oil and blitz
Add tahini and blitz
Add cacao and blitz
Add remaining coconut oil and blitz
Roll into balls
Coat with cacao powder (optional)
- It is a really good idea to watch my recipe video before cooking these as the technique I have used for the orange/juice is important. We actually use ½ of a juiced orange and the rind.....not the orange juice from the orange.
- Also please note that I use ½ of the coconut oil at one stage in the recipe and the remaining ½ at another stage, this is to ensure a consistent mix of the balls without being too wet or dry.
- The balls would be too moist if you used the juice as well as remaining oil and rind. Keep the freshly squeezed juice in the fridge for breakfast!!
- These bliss balls can be frozen for up to a month
- The energy balls will keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks in an air tight container
