Ingredients
- ⅔ cup sesame seeds, plain
- 8 Medjool dates, very soft, pitted
- 4 dried roses, ends removed, fragrant
Optional
- ⅔ tbsp sesame, for coating four finished balls
Equipment
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates, sesame seeds, and petals of 2 dried roses. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky dough-like consistency, about 1 and a half minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Break up the additional 2 roses and incorporate them into the dough mixture by gently kneading with your hands.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms. For added texture, roll 4 of the balls in sesame seeds until coated.
Notes
Bliss ball swaps
- Nuts like almonds or walnuts
- Shredded coconut for a tropical twist
- Crushed graham crackers for added crunch
- Cocoa powder for a chocolatey upgrade
Food safe storage
- To keep those energy bliss balls at their prime, stash them in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll stay fresh for up to a week, giving you plenty of time to grab one whenever the snack cravings hit. Just remember, out of sight, out of mind... so don't forget about them!
