Why you will love this recipe:

Bliss Ball Ingredients
- Dried Apricots – you can use any type of dried apricots for this recipe. You can also use a mixture of apricots and sultanas if you wish.
- Coconut – I prefer to use desiccated coconut for this recipe, shredded or flaked coconut will not combine as well with the apricots when blitzing the ingredients together.
- Honey – you can also use rice malt syrup or maple syrup if you prefer.
How to Make Apricot Bliss Balls
- Combine all of your ingredients in a food processor or Thermomix and blitz until the apricots have broken down and combined with the other ingredients.
- Use a teaspoon to scoop up the mixture and roll into balls.
- Roll the balls in the extra coconut and place onto a plate. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
Tips for Making Bliss Balls:
- The time it takes for the dried apricots to break down and combine with the other ingredients will vary depending on the appliance you are using.
- These Bliss Balls can be enjoyed as soon as they have been made, however they will hold their shape better if chilled in the fridge.
- To store, pop into an airtight container in your fridge.
- This recipe is freezer friendly, so you can make a batch up in advance and then store them in the freezer until needed. This is also a great way to hide them from the kids to stop them from eating them all at once!!

Hi, I was wondering if I could substitute the coconut with something else? We’re unable to have coconut in our household. Thanks
Karen
These look yum! What could I use instead of almond meal? Almonds are on the no go list for a family member with severe nut allergies.
Clementine
WOW! WOW! WOW, my children loved them!! Keep cooking everyone
Jane Carter
Amazing! Love These !

Just a heads up these are nut free. Almond is classed as a seed not a nut and well coconut has the word nut in it but isn’t one.
Lauren Matheson
Thank you 🙂
Caroline
I used 1 tbsp Honey, and added some vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Yum
Lauren Matheson
What a great idea, I’m going to try that 🙂
Mary
These look delicious. Any suggestions for the food processor part? I never have luck blitzing anything dense and sticky, it just ends up as a lump stuck on the blades and doesn’t further process/mix together the ingredients. There are so many recipes with dates that I cant try because of this.
Karen
Maybe put a bit of water then flour on the blades before blitzing
Mandi
I’m going to do this to, sounds extra delicious
Jess
Could these be rolled into logs instead of balls? I’ve got a little dude that LOVES apricot logs..
Lauren Matheson
Hi Jess, they sure can! That is a great idea 🙂
