Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried mango (unsweetened, chopped)
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, plus 1/4 cup extra for rolling
- 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the dried mango, 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, pitted dates, raw cashews, melted coconut oil, fresh lime juice, alcohol-free vanilla extract, and sea salt to a food processor.
- Step 2: Process on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture forms a sticky, uniform dough that clumps together when pressed.
- Step 3: Take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form compact, bite-sized balls.
- Step 4: Place the extra 1/4 cup of desiccated coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll each bliss ball in the coconut, pressing gently to coat evenly.
- Step 5: Arrange the finished bliss balls on a plate or in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Keep your bliss balls fresh and firm by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or pop them in the freezer for a longer-lasting treat to enjoy whenever a craving strikes.
- No need to reheat these no-bake wonders; they're best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge for a refreshing, chewy bite, or at room temperature if you prefer a slightly softer, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- These vibrant Coconut Mango Bliss Balls are fantastic as a wholesome grab-and-go breakfast, a satisfying post-workout boost, or a delightful afternoon snack paired with your favorite tea or coffee.
- For the smoothest and stickiest dough, ensure your dried mango and dates are soft; if they feel a bit firm, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes (then drain thoroughly) before processing to help them blend beautifully.
