Bliss balls are a super quick and easy treat to whip up when you’re short of time. I don’t even roll the mixture into balls when time is short. I just whack the mixture into a small glass dish and press it flat. Then I cut it up later.
These bliss balls have a mild minty flavour and are great with a cuppa. They’re also nut free so great in kids lunchboxes. I recommend organic coconut that’s preservative free. If you only have shredded coconut or coconut chips feel free to use that too, you’ll just need to blitz it a bit longer in the food processor.
For a bit of variety, you could also roll these balls in desiccated coconut or even a quality drinking chocolate.
Enjoy!
