Raspberry Coconut Bliss Balls

March 22, 2016 | After School Snacks, Healthy Lunchbox, No-bake Sweets

Raspberry coconut bliss balls - Want to break the chocolate overload this Easter? Why not try Raspberry Coconut Bliss Balls or simply "Easter Bunny Tails".

These sweet, raw bliss balls are a quick and easy treat to break up the chocolate overload this Easter. My kids named them ‘Easter Bunny tails’ when they helped me make them…because apparently raspberry coconut bliss balls ‘sounds boring’.

If you can’t be bothered rolling balls, you can also double this recipe and press into a lined slice tin. Chill and cut into Bliss Bites.

Health benefits

Cashews are a great source of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and magnesium (nut-free variation below the main recipe). Anti-inflammatory properties and more antioxidants galore from nature’s candy ‘raspberries.’

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary requirements.

These Raspberry Coconut Bliss Balls are a bit of a change from the usual chocolate bliss balls. They are really easy to make and so delicious. 

Ingredients

  • 70 g raw cashew nuts (½ cup) nut-free below
  • 100 g desiccated coconut (1 cup)
  • 50 g frozen raspberries (½ cup)
  • 2-3 tbsp rice malt syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 lemon/s zest (optional)
  • 25 g desiccated coconut (¼ cup) extra to roll them in
Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

  • Grind your cashew nuts in a food processor (TMX 5 seconds, speed 7)
  • Add the coconut, raspberries, sweetener and optional lemon zest.
  • Mix to combine (TMX 10 seconds, speed 5).
  • Roll into balls and then roll in more coconut if you like.
  • Store in the freezer and serve from frozen. Enjoy!

Store and serve

  • As with any raw treat, these don’t hold up to heat well. I always store them in the freezer and if packing in a lunchbox, pack from frozen and against and ice brick.

Variations

Nut-free

Substitute the cashews with toasted sunflower seeds or rolled oats (grind as you would the nuts but no longer gluten or grain-free if using oats). For 150 pages of nut-free recipes and lunchbox inspiration, take a look at my best selling ebook 'The Well Nourished Lunchbox'. Click HERE to read the rave reviews and find out more.

Fructose-friendly

Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener.

Coconut-free

Substitute the coconut with more nut meal or oatmeal.

Choc-raspberry

Can't help but want chocolate? Add a tablespoon of cacao to make them choc-raspberry.

      Tricia you would have to serve them from the fridge or freezer – like any raw treat they will soften with exposure to heat G x

    Was just wondering on the calorie count on these bliss balls?

      Hi Lauren, I’m not a fan of calorie counting (no value from a health perspective in my opinion) so I don’t know. I’m sure there are calorie counters online that you can calculate if that is important for you. G x

    Have made these using toasted sunflower seeds so they were nut-free and gluten-free for my son’s end of year class party. Also added the cacao powder. I received a big thumbs up from him ? such an easy thing to make and a bonus they can be stashed in the freezer until the day. Thank you! Xx

    There’s no point making one batch of those goodies, you have to at least double it, they disappear to fast?

      Not they do ned to be frozen otherwise it’s hard to form the balls (they are too sloppy). Enjoy Georgia x PS – sorry for the delay, I’ve been on holidays

      Yes – you may just need to adjust the dry ingredients (as the moisture content can vary a little) so that the mixture forms a paste G x

    These are scrumptious; if I’d known how much I’d like them I would have doubled the batch. I made them with oats so they were lunch box friendly and added the cacao; I felt like I was eating a cherry ripe. Next time I’m going to try it with frozen cherries to see if tastes even more like a cherry ripe.

    Georgia, I love your twist on these bliss balls! These were so super easy and fast to make, and I am a big fan of having treats in the freezer for an instant sweet “fix”. I love the fact that this bliss ball is made without dates, for a nice change. Will definitely be making these sweet treats again. Thank you for posting your recipe for us all to share. I am keen to try these out on the grandchildren to see how they like them…….

    I just made these for the first time (I don’t think a day goes by in my house where we don’t eat something from Well Nourished!) and oh my goodness they are amazing! So yum, me, my almost 18mth old and 3.5 year old ate two each and then we decided we will have to double batch next time (made with oats for kinder lunchbox)
