Orange Sesame Bliss Balls

Now there are a million Bliss Ball recipes around at the moment. I tend to just whip them up with whatever I have leftover in the pantry. This recipe is a combination of a couple I have been given. You can easily tweak it to include/exclude whatever you want, just ensure you keep the texture relatively consistent. You may like to reduce the orange zest in this recipe if you find it too strong.

Orange Sesame Bliss Balls
Ingredients

200 grams Medjool dates
50 grams cashews
1/2 orange zest
30 grams oats
2-3 Tablespoons sesame seeds to roll balls in

Method
Blitz dates, cashews, orange zest and oats in Thermomix bowl for 10 seconds on speed 10. Form small balls and roll in sesame seeds. Makes around 16 balls. Keep Bliss Balls in the fridge. Can also be frozen.



These can obviously be made in a normal food processor, you will likely just need to blitz for longer to ensure the orange zest has been completely dispersed through the mixture.

Given these contain cashews and sesame seeds, they aren't school lunchbox friendly. But you could substitute the cashews for more oats, you may just need to add a tablespoon of boiling water to bring it together. You could then coat in coconut.
