Chocolate Bliss Balls Ingredients
Almonds – Almonds are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, plant-based protein, fibre, vitamin E, and magnesium. They help add a creamy texture while also supporting heart health and keeping you fuller for longer. Always choose raw or natural unsalted almonds where possible.
Cashews – Cashews provide healthy fats, antioxidants, fibre, and plant-based protein, giving these bliss balls a softer, creamier texture. Raw or natural unsalted cashews work best in this recipe.
Walnuts – Walnuts are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids, along with antioxidants, fibre, and protein. They add texture and healthy fats while supporting brain and heart health. Choose raw or unsalted walnuts for the best flavour and nutrition.
Pumpkin Seeds – Pumpkin seeds are packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, fibre, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants. They add extra nutrition and a subtle nutty flavour while helping make these bliss balls more satisfying and filling.
Flaxseeds – Flaxseeds (also called linseeds in New Zealand) are rich in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. Ground flaxseed or flax meal is best, as it allows your body to absorb the nutrients more easily.
Medjool Dates – Medjool dates naturally sweeten the bliss balls without the need for refined sugar. They are rich in fibre, antioxidants, and minerals like magnesium and potassium, while also helping create the soft, sticky texture needed to bind the mixture together.
Cacao Powder – Cacao powder gives these bliss balls their rich chocolate flavour while also providing antioxidants, fibre, and essential minerals. Cacao powder is less processed than cocoa powder and retains more natural nutrients.
Coconut Oil – Unrefined coconut oil helps bind the bliss balls together while adding healthy fats and a subtle coconut flavour. It also helps create a softer, fudgier texture. Always use unrefined coconut oil for the best flavour and quality.
How to Make Chocolate Bliss Balls
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined.
Scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls. This recipe makes approximately 20-24 bliss balls.
Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Tips for Making the Chocolate Bliss Balls
Use a mix of nuts and seeds, aiming for around 2 cups total.
Always choose raw or natural unsalted nuts for the best flavour and nutrition.
A food processor works best for even blending. A blender can also be used but may be harder to scrape out.
If Medjool dates are firm, soak them in hot water for 5–10 minutes before using.
If the mixture is too dry, add a small splash of water or an extra teaspoon of coconut oil.
If the mixture is too soft, chill it for 10–15 minutes before rolling.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
