Mini Christmas Pudding Bliss Balls
 
 
Hazel & Cacao:
Recipe type: Raw Vegan Dessert
Ingredients
  • Pudding:
  • 1 cup dates
  • 1 cup almonds
  • ½ cup pecans
  • ½ cup sultanas
  • ¼ dried cranberries
  • 1 TBSP orange zest
  • 1 TBSP lemon zest
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • currants or cranberries for decorating
  • Frosting:
  • ½ cup raw cashews soaked for at least 3 hours or overnight
  • 2 TBSP maple syrup
  • 2 TBSP soy milk or almond milk
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP coconut oil
  • drop of vanilla extract
Method
  1. For the pudding: add the nuts, dried fruit, orange and lemon zest as well as the cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to the food processor and blend for a few minutes until the mixture becomes sticky. Process the nuts first if you are wanting a finer texture.
  2. Roll even sized balls and flatten the tops slightly.
  3. For the frosting: add the cashews, maple syrup, milk, lemon juice coconut oil and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth. Soaking the cashews really helps give a much smoother consistency. Make sure there are no lumpy bits from the cashews. You can pop the frosting in the fridge to help it firm a little before using it but I preferred to use mine straight away so it could fall down the sides of the balls.
  4. Decorate with three fresh currants or cranberries if you can find them!
  5. Store in the fridge or freezer in a container with a lid. Enjoy!
