With Christmas time and holidays slowly approaching, I’ve been thinking about festive seasonal recipes so I get my things organized and ready ahead of time. This desert / healthy snack is super easy and quick to make, but the combination of cloves and cinnamon gives the Christmas-y vibe, so I’m definitely keeping this in my arsenal.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 12-15 bliss balls / 1.10 EUR)

1 cup pitted dates (0.67 EUR)

1 cup desiccated coconut (0.33 EUR)

½ cup water (–)

1 tsp ground cinnamon (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp ground cloves (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a crumbly dough forms. If the dough feels too wet and too sticky, add a bit more coconut. Using your hands shape the dough into balls. Store the bliss balls in your fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Hide from all family members who lack self-control, as these are super tasty and addictive.

Pošto se božićno i blagdansko vrijeme polako približavaju, razmišljam o prigodnim receptima kako bih unaprijed imala sve pripremljeno i posloženo. Ovaj desert / zdravi snack je jako jednostavan i brz, ali kombinacija cimeta i klinčića baš daje onu pravu božićnu vibru. Stoga ovo definitivno ostaje u mojem arsenalu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 12-15 kuglica / 8,25 kn)

1 šalica odkoštenih datulja (5,00 kn)

1 šalica kokosovog brašna (2,50 kn)

½ šalice vode (–)

1 žličica cimeta u prahu (0,50 kn)

½ žličice klinčića u prahu (0,25 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Ubacite sve sastojke u multipraktik i pulsirajte dok ne dobijete grudičasto tijesto. Ako vam se čini da je tijesto previše mokro i ljepljivo, ubacite još malo kokosa. Rukama tijesto formirajte u kuglice. Kuglice čuvajte u hladnjaku u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi, gdje će držati do tjedan dana. Obavezno sakrijte od svih članova domaćinstva kojima fali samokontrole, pošto ove kuglice izazivaju ovisnost.
