Butterscotch Chocolate Tahini Bliss Balls

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups nuts of choice (mix of cashews, almonds & pecans)
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 2 tbsp vegan protein powder
• 2 tbsp hulled tahini
• 2 1/2 cups dates, pitted & soaked (reserve water from soaking)
• 2 tbsp date water (adjust depending on protein powder absorbency)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
• 1-2 tbsp melted coconut oil (optional)
• to taste maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tsp vegan butterscotch caramel sauce (per ball for filling)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a food processor, blitz the nuts until they resemble a fine flour. Add the cacao powder, vegan protein powder, and tahini, and briefly process to combine.

2. 2

   Add the dates, date water, and optional melted coconut oil. Process until the mixture clumps and sticks together; if it doesn't, add more liquid. Add the chocolate chunks and process a bit more until all mixed in.

3. 3

   Divide the mixture into 12 even balls and roll each into a ball, then flatten.

4. 4

   Spoon a teaspoon of butterscotch sauce into the centre of each flattened ball, then gently fold up the edges and roll it back into a ball.

5. 5

   Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for months.
