Strawberry Bliss Balls Ingredients

• Medjool dates – Primary binder and natural sweetener; use pitted dates.
• Strawberries – Fresh or frozen (allow frozen berries to thaw slightly to avoid excess liquid).
• Seeds – Sunflower, hemp and ground flax seeds add bulk, nutrients and help absorb moisture.
• Tigernuts – A nut-free crunchy option; use whole tigernuts, sliced flakes, or tigernut flour for a finer texture.
• Maple butter or maple syrup – Adds creaminess and a hint of maple flavor; maple butter has a spreadable texture.
• Freeze-dried strawberries – Ground to a powder and used as a vibrant coating for the finished balls.

How To Make Healthy Nut Free Strawberry Bliss Balls

Step 1. Prepare the ingredients:

• Gather all ingredients and soak medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes if they seem dry.
• Grind the freeze-dried strawberries to a fine powder for coating.

Step 2. Mix the dry ingredients:

• In a food processor, pulse the dry chopped ingredients first: tigernuts (or tigernut flakes), sunflower seeds, hemp seeds and ground flax. The goal is a coarse flour-like texture, not a paste.
• When the dry mix looks uniform, transfer it to a separate bowl.

Step 3. Add the wet ingredients:

• Add softened dates, maple butter (or maple syrup), and the strawberries (if frozen, let them thaw for about 10 minutes).
• Process until the mixture forms a paste, then add the reserved dry mixture and pulse again until the dough comes together.
• The dough is ready once it moves past crumbly and begins to clump on the sides of the processor. Scrape the bowl with a spatula as needed.

Step 4. Form the bliss balls and chill:

• Use a tablespoon to portion the mixture and roll into snack-sized balls by hand.
• Chill the formed balls in the refrigerator for at least one hour—this makes them firmer and easier to coat with strawberry powder.

Step 5. Coat the bliss balls:

• Grind the freeze-dried strawberries to a fine powder with a coffee grinder or small blender.
• Spread the powder on a plate and roll chilled balls in it to coat evenly.
• Return coated balls to a tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days, or freeze for long-term storage (up to 3 months).

These bliss balls can also be prepared in high-powered mixers that handle sticky dough, such as Thermomix units—just scrape the sides as needed. If the mixture feels too wet while processing, add a bit more ground flax or tigernut flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water, maple syrup or a small extra date.
