25 min prep

10 serves

0.4 serves of fruit

125g dried mango slices, roughly chopped
1 lime, juiced and zested
1/3 cup boiling water
½ cup raw cashews
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Place the dried mango, lime juice and lime zest in a small bowl. Add 1/3 cup of boiling water to the bowl and set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, place the cashews, rolled oats and vanilla in the base of a food processor. Process until finely minced. Add the mango mixture (including the liquid) and process until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into 20 balls. Pour the desiccated coconut out onto a small dish and toss each ball in the coconut to lightly coat.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Serving suggestion: Feel free to swap the cashews for other nuts you may have on hand, such as unsalted almonds or peanuts.

Storage: Bliss balls should be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Kids in the kitchen: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help measure the ingredients, and roll the mixture in the coconut to coat.
