Golden Bliss Balls from Jess' Kitchen

I hope you like these, They’re sweet and earthy and rich and creamy and milky and able to be eaten by my whole family right now, yippee!

Living with lots of eating restrictions can be a hassle... living with them and catering for them when its not for yourself can be a chore! EXCEPT when it is for your child! And then you must learn quickly to adapt, and enjoy creating new things in the kitchen for that precious little person! In our family its our youngest that currently has some different food needs, and thankfully its only temporary, but its cut out lots of our staples! One of them is DATES!!! Try making nut balls without dates.... 

Actually I have done it for you, so don't worry! And I also snuck in some Turmeric for its amazing anti inflammatory properties, sweetened with Honey, a hint of cinnamon and coated in toasted coconut. Full of good fats, and protein, these are this weeks victory for me

Ingredients

150 grams Cashew nuts

200 grams Macadamia nuts

Pinch Himalayan salt

1 tsp Turmeric

1 tsp Cinnamon

100 grams raw Honey

50 grams Coconut paste (I use Loving Earth)

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Toasted Coconut, for rolling

Method

Place cashew and macadamia nuts into Thermomix bowl. Add salt, turmeric and cinnamon. Process on speed 5 for 4-5 seconds, till very finely chopped.

Add honey, coconut paste and vanilla extract. Process again for 20 seconds on speed 5.

Roll balls of mixture in some toasted coconut.

Store in the fridge.

*Note: I am not a culinary genius, far from it. Substituting Coconut paste and Honey for dates kind of just made sense to me, but the idea of the Turmeric was seen somewhere on Instagram, in some other nut ball recipe, that I saw and went "LIGHT BULB!" but dismissed as soon as I saw dates... Fast forward a few weeks and I had worked out how to make yummy bliss balls without dates, and then remembered the Golden Turmeric ball idea! So whilst this recipe and its ingredients/amounts was made up in my kitchen, the true genius is somewhere out there on Instagram or Facebook, being super awesome. Thanks whomever you are!
