Chocolate Tahini Bliss Balls
Time: 25 minutes | Serve: 12
Gluten Free / Dairy Free / Vegan
Ingredients
1/4 cup of unhulled tahini
1/8 cup of maple syrup
1/4 cup of finely shredded coconut
1/4 cup of almond meal
1/4 cup of quinoa flakes
1/8 cup cacao
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp instant espresso – to help enhance the richness of the chocolate
Sprinkles
Cacao
Coconut flakes
Method
Place all ingredients into a medium-size bowl and stir to combine.
If the mixture is a little dry add a splash of water (a teaspoon at a time) until it sticks together to form a sticky ‘dough’.
Scoop a small section of dough and shape roll in the palm of your hand to shape into bite-size balls, repeat until all the mixture has been used.
Tip: Use approximately 1 heaping teaspoon per bite which makes them the perfect size for popping into your mouth on the down-low, so you don’t have to share!
If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or sprinkles simply place your cacao, coconut and/or sprinkles into a small bowl or zip lock bag and gently shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy!
