Thermomix Chocolate Chia Bliss Balls
A rich and chewy snack packed with simple ingredients.
Servings: 10 balls
Calories: 124kcal
Ingredients
- 90 g sunflower seeds
- 200 g pitted Medjool dates, see notes
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds, plus extra for coating
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, plus extra for coating
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the sunflower seeds to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 7 sec/speed 9.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 10 sec/speed 7 until the mixture sticks together. It's important not to over-mix or the dates will become too sticky to work with.
- Take roughly a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a walnut-sized ball with your hands. Continue doing this until all the mixture is used. If the mixture is a little sticky to roll, place the Thermomix jug with the mixture in it in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden.
- Rolling the bliss balls in extra cocoa powder and chia seeds gives them a lovely finish, but they can also be left plain.
Notes
Medjool dates: Weigh the Medjool dates after they have been pitted. I generally use between 12-14, but they vary in size and weight.
Storage: To store, keep them in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight container.
