Ingredients
- 200 g (about 10) Medjool dates seeds removed
- 1 cup macadamias
- 1/4 cup macadamias extra, for decorating
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut toasted
- 150 g dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Place the dates, 1 cup of macadamias, cranberries and cacao in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture is smooth and rolls together to form a ball. Roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into individual balls shaped like eggs and refrigerate until cold.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the ¼ cup of macadamias in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, or until golden. Cool and place into a small bowl. Place the toasted coconut in another small bowl alongside the bowl of macadamias. Place the melted chocolate in a third small bowl.
- Dip the bottom of each bliss ball egg in chocolate and then either the macadamias or shredded coconut. Repeat with all the eggs. Refrigerate until ready to serve or deliver.
