Tamarind Bliss Balls
These tamarind bliss balls are a great source of energy and a delicious snack.
Ingredients
- 8 medjool dates pitted
- 2 tbsp tamarind paste*
- 1 tbsp walnuts chopped
- 1 tbsp dried cherries
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse dates and tamarind paste until mixture forms a sticky ball. Then add in your mix ins (cherries, walnuts) and pulse to incorporate.
- Using a tablespoon measure or a small cookie dough scoop, take a handful of the tamarind batter and roll into a ball with your hands. Wet your hands before starting this step as the mixture will be very sticky. Optional: roll the balls in cane sugar or shredded coconut
- Store the balls in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before eating to allow them to firm up. Store the balls in the fridge to extend their shelf life.
- *NOTE: If you start with tamarinds in the shell instead of tamarind paste like I did, make sure to remove the shell and let the tamarinds soak in a little water for 15-20 minutes. Then gently rub the paste from the seeds and follow the instructions above.
