Lemon & Coconut Delights

Ingredients

10 dates (seeds removed)1 cup of cashews1 lemon (juice & zest)1/2 cup of shredded coconut1/2 cup of shredded coconut (to roll in afterwards)

Method

1. Add the dates, lemon juice and zest into the food processor and combine until it is all mixed through and you have your desired texture. (Sometimes I like to leave my mixture with a few nut and date pieces less processed).

2. This mixture is a little wet, once combined roll the mixture into your desired size of bliss ball. I prefer to make my bliss balls a little smaller and more bite size so it is easier to take with me when I’m on the run.

3. Roll the bliss balls in the left over shredded coconut to coat them.

4. Store the bliss balls in a glass jar/air tight container, they keep for about a week or two.
