I am loving all the recipes that are out there for Bliss Balls or truffles depending what you call them! But I realise that sometimes they contain so many ingredients, or unusual ingredients that we don’t always have these on hand in the cupboard.
So with that in mind I thought I would play with the most basic of ingredients and see how I got on – in fact I used only 3 ingredients and they are pretty tasty!
Here are some of my even more flavourful Bliss Ball recipes
Apricot & Coconut Bliss Balls
Christmas Pudding Bliss Balls
Cranberry, Cashew & Date Bliss Balls
Lemon & Cashew Bliss Balls
And this recipe can easily be made with the kids, I used a food processor, but if you do not have one or a mixer simply chop the soaked apricots as finely as you can!
So now onto the recipe for my Simple Apricot Bliss Balls
Simple Apricot Bliss Balls
These Simple Apricot Bliss Balls are so fun to make, using only a few ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dried Apricots, 130 grams
- 1 Cup Boiling Water
- 1 Cup Desiccated Coconut, 90 grams
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice - freshly squeezed
- Small amount of coconut for rolling
Instructions
- Add Apricots and boiling water together in a small bowl and set aside for at least 5 minutes
- Drain well, discard the water and add apricots to a food mixer or chop finely with sharp knife.
- Squeeze orange, some for recipe some for drinking!
- Add the orange and coconut to chopped apricots and mix well until combined, should come together and be sticky enough to roll into balls, you may need to add a little more orange juice.
- Take a teaspoon sized amount and roll into a ball, then roll the bliss ball in coconut.
- Repeat with remaining mixture.
- Pop the balls in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container
- They last really well in the fridge.
- Enjoy!
