Choc-Hazel Bliss Balls

Choc Hazel Bliss Balls

 

Choc-Hazel Bliss Balls

Now I am a bit of a bliss ball addict, but these are something really, really extra special.

After I made up this variation, I had to get everyone to come running and try them and officially declare me a genius!

Yes, they are that good. Think nutella, think ferrero rocher but healthy!!

 

Choc-Hazel Bliss Balls

Vital Stats: raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, egg free, refined sugar free 

 

Okay so this is what you need:

1 cup pitted sulphur free dates
2 tablespoons Crio Bru (I used the new flavour, Maracaibo)
2 tablespoons organic raw cacao powder
2 teaspoons Heilala Vanilla Bean paste (secret ingredient)
1 cup hazelnuts, skin removed

 

Okay, so this is how you do it:

Process the dates, crio bru, cacao and vanilla until well combined in a food processor or thermomix. Add hazelnuts and pulse or turbo until they are finely chopped. Use damp hands and roll them into balls. Store in the fridge or freezer.

    I have everything ready to go, bar the vanilla bean paste. Can you recommend a substitute

      Hi Gemma, you could just leave it out – I can’t think of a good substitute – it’s really a different sort of product! 🙂

      Hi Gemma,
      Crio Bru is fantastic, however in this recipe I think cacao nibs would be a good substitute to try…

    Hi there, just wanted to check with you about the crio bru. Do you brew it first then add it or just add the powder?

    How many balls does this recipe make?
    And any idea how much the ingredients cost for one batch? 🙂
    Looks ridiculously yum!

      Depends on how big you roll them! Sorry, I don’t remember how many it made. Ingredients cost vary so much – I usually buy my stuff in bulk through the co-op so I am not sure of a supermarket price. 🙂

    I’ve got medjool dates and dried dates. Which should I use and would it be the same quantity? If dried, should I soak them first?

      Hi Cathy, I use medjool but you can use either. You can soak if you like but it’s not necessary.

    Yum! I just made these so delicious!! I subbed the crio bru with 2 tbsp of cacao butter and I peeled my hazelnuts and then roasted them, lovely!

    Oh wow – these are sensational! Thank you so much for the recipe. I watched my kids stuff themselves with Easter eggs all day yesterday and was carving a sweet but healthy treat for myself – these were perfect!
