    Healthy coconut rough has been one of my post popular recipes on Becomingness and over the years I have added different flavour combinations and recently I have made them into coconut rough bliss balls.

    INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

    • Medjool dates - if you use regular dates then you run the risk of the mixture not sticking together and you may need some nut butter or coconut oil to help them stick together. So stick to medjool dates and you will not have an issue
    • Shredded coconut
    • Cacao powder
    • Coconut oil
    • Vanilla extract
    • Peppermint essential oil or peppermint extract. If using essential oil, make sure you use a food grade quality oil

    1. Just add all the ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender and then process until the ingredients are well combined.
    2. Then you need to roll into balls and place on a lined baking tray (or plate) and put into the refrigerator to set.

    RECIPE FAQS

    What are the best dates to use to make these bliss balls?

    I highly recommend using Medjool dates to make these bliss balls and any other raw dessert recipe that require dates and I always state in the ingredients listing to use Medjool dates.
    Medjool dates are sticky so they really bind together all the ingredients really well.
    If you use regular dates, you will most likely find that the mixture will not hold and you will need to use a little bit of coconut oil or nut butter to make the bliss balls.

    Can I store these bliss balls?

    Yes you can! You can keep stored in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or you can store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You will need to allow approximately 15 minutes to thaw them out before eating.

    • 10 medjool dates
    • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
    • ¼ cup cacao powder
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

    Notes

    Use the right dates - It is very important that you use Medjool dates to make these bliss balls. Regular dates are very dry and if you use them the bliss balls will not stick together. Medjool dates are sticky and required for this recipe.
