- Recipe by Odette Burns

INGREDIENT­S

◆ 2 cups raw cashews

◆ 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut ◆ ¼ cup rice malt syrup ◆ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

◆ ½ cup cranberrie­s

◆ 1/3 cup pepitas

◆ 1/3 cup shelled pistachios ◆ 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil ◆ 100g Lindt 85% dark chocolate

METHOD

Blitz cashews and coconut together well until you get a nice fine crumb and pour into a mixing bowl.

Mix in all other ingredient­s, except the chocolate and mix well.

Mixture should stick together when squeezed in the palm of your hand.

Press and then roll into small sized balls gently and place onto baking tray lined with baking paper and freeze to set.

Whilst your bliss balls are setting, melt your chocolate in a double boiler and then use it to half-dip your balls.

Once again freeze to set, and store in an airtight container in the freezer or fridge.
