"Cherry Ripe" Bliss Balls

I am so happy to finally be able to share with you my first recipe featured on the Loving Earth website. See it here.

I only found out about Cherry Ripe when coming to Australia 6 years ago (I know!) I loved them straight away but being health conscious I can't remember the last time I ate one. My healthy Cherry Ripe inspired bliss balls will satisfy I hope your Cherry Ripe cravings! I believe they taste even better than the real thing. These bliss balls are also very easy to make (once you get dried cherries! that's the hard part!)

You can get dried cherries from health food shops (better to buy organic) and Kakulas in Perth. I have not tried them with fresh or frozen cherries. But I don't think it would work.

Cherry Ripe Bliss Balls

time: 15 min - serves: 24 balls

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Activated Almonds
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut +1/3 cup more to roll the balls at the end
• 1 cup dried sour cherries (organic is better- from a health food shop)
• 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
• 1/3 cup pitted dates
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Blend the almonds and coconut in a food processor;
2. Add in the dates & dried cherries and blend until chopped finely and starts sticking together (stop and with a spoon remove what is sticking on the side to mix it all well)
3. Add in the coconut oil and cacao powder and mix again.
4. With your hands roll the bliss balls using around 1 tbsp and roll in the coconut. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for longer.
