Ingredients
- • cooked beetroot: 1 cup, finely grated
- • black sesame seeds: 1/2 cup
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • medjool dates: 8, pitted
- • almond butter: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • raw cashews: 1/2 cup, soaked for 2 hours
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Begin by soaking the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours. This will soften them for the drizzle later.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the grated beetroot, black sesame seeds, rolled oats, medjool dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
- 3 Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Place each ball onto a tray lined with parchment paper.
- 4 Roll each ball in the unsweetened shredded coconut to coat them evenly. This adds a delightful texture and enhances the presentation.
- 5 For the cashew-lime drizzle, drain the soaked cashews and blend them with lime juice and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
- 6 Drizzle the cashew-lime mixture over the bliss balls before serving or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these bliss balls chilled, making them a refreshing treat for warm days. Pair them with a cup of herbal tea or a chilled glass of lemon-infused water to enhance the citrus notes of the cashew-lime drizzle. For an extra crunch, consider garnishing with a sprinkle of extra black sesame seeds or finely chopped pistachios. These bliss balls also pair beautifully with a fresh fruit salad featuring seasonal berries and citrus slices.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bliss balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month and thaw them in the fridge before serving. The cashew-lime drizzle can be stored separately in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.
