Why Bliss Balls with Pistachios, Cacao, and Sesame?
Pistachios are not only delicious but also rich in healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. Cacao provides an intense chocolate flavor and is packed with magnesium to give you an energy boost. Sesame adds calcium and valuable nutrients while providing a slightly crunchy texture. These Bliss Balls are not just tasty but also a powerful nutrient booster.
Ingredients
- 100 gram pistachios (unsalted)
- 50 gram rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 150 gram dates (pitted)
- 2 tablespoon cacao powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds (for coating)
- 1-2 tablespoon water (Optional, if the mixture is too dry)
Instructions
- Add the pistachios and oats to a blender or food processor and grind them into a fine, flour-like consistency.
- Add the dates, cacao powder, and vanilla extract. Blend everything together until a sticky dough forms. If the consistency is too dry, gradually add 1–2 tbsp of warm water.
- Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls between your hands.
- Place the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl and roll the Bliss Balls in the seeds until evenly coated.
- Place the Bliss Balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store the Bliss Balls in an airtight container in the fridge – they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
