The taste of Easter in a smooth moist morsel. What's not to love?
Ingredients
1¼ cup almond meal (ground almonds)
12 Medjool dates, seed removed
1½ teaspoons mixed spice (use 2 teaspoons if not using extra cinnamon and cloves below)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon - optional
¼ teaspoon ground cloves - optional
2 tablespoons of either mixed peel or orange zest or 1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon almond spread, orange juice or coconut oil (only use if mixture does not bind)
Crosses
½ cup almond meal
Water
½ teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Directions
Place all the ingredients for the balls except the almond spread in a food processor and process until a smooth sticky dough consistency is achieved. Add the almond spread if the mixture is not combining and needs a bit more moisture to do so.
Roll the mixture into small balls using your hands and place in the fridge until they become firm.
To make the paste for the crosses:
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Alternatively, you can mix by hand in a bowl.
Pipe or drizzle the paste over the bliss balls to form a cross on each one. Refrigerate or freeze balls in an air-tight container.
