Dark Choc Orange & Hazelnut Bliss Balls

A guilt free indulgence packed with antioxidants.

These make a great ‘homemade’ Christmas present!

Choc_Orange_Hazelnut_Bliss_Balls

In a blender or food processor (which ever mills the best) add

  • 100g (raw) hazelnuts, with shells on (alternatively use hazelnut meal)

Mill the nuts finely then add

  • 250g dates (deseeded)

Mill until ‘pastey’ then add in

  • 80g Cacao
  • 25g Coconut Oil
  • 20g Maple Syrup or Raw Honey
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla powder (or use essence or bean)
  • 5g orange zest

Process until well combined (approx 20 secs) and then add inBliss_Balls_Dark_Chocolate

  • 80g hazelnuts – raw is fine, although toasted does add more flavour.

I gently toast mine in a pan. Once cooled I give them a rub removing some of the skins. Blend again – not too finely – so you can still see small chunks of hazelnuts in the mix.

Squash together small handfuls and roll into balls. Place in the fridge (until firm and cold).

NOTE: Keep them in the freezer and just pull out what you need – they are ready to eat immediately.

Try macadamia or almonds in replace of hazelnuts!
