This recipe comes from nutsforlife and I love it because its a bliss ball but a bit different. The extra flavours make these Hazelnut Date Balls super delicious. I'm also always happy to find recipes that use a more unusual nut like the hazelnut, rather than the more usual Almonds and Cashews...!
Ingredients:
2 Tbs honey
1 tsp orange zest
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 C chopped apricots
1/2 C chopped dates
2 tsp neutral oil (only for rolling)
Instructions:
- Chop hazelnuts in a food processor but stop them before they turn to dust or a paste.
- Add all other ingredients and process until well mixed (it will probably comes together in a ball).
- Turn the mixture into a bowl for easier handling. Pinch off walnut sized pieces and roll into balls.
- If desired, roll the balls in icing sugar, desiccated coconut or hazelnut meal.
- Store in the fridge.
