Chill: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Course: Snack
Servings: 10 balls
These raspberry coconut bliss balls are a quick, healthy snack made with simple, wholesome ingredients. They’re fruity, freezer-friendly, and perfect for satisfying sweet cravings naturally.

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

Instructions

  • Grind your cashew nuts in a food processor (if using a Thermomix, grind for 5 seconds, speed 7)
  • Add the coconut, raspberries, sweetener and optional lemon zest.
  • Blend to combine well (If using a Thermomix blend for 10 seconds, speed 5) and form a thick paste.
  • Roll into balls.
  • Place a little extra coconut in a small bowl to coat the balls.

Store and serve

  • I place them on a tray and snap freeze so they don't stick together when stored.
  • Then store in an airtight container in the fridge or better still the freezer and serve from frozen.
  • 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 an ice brick.

Notes

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'.

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.
