Chocolate Truffle Bliss Balls

Every good Thermomix Blog needs a Bliss Ball style recipe. So here is one I created this afternoon.
Brazil nuts are high in Selenium, which may help with the prevention of cancer, so they are a good addition to this recipe as well as cinnamon which can help stabilise blood sugar levels.

80g Almonds
40g Brazil nuts

30g Sunflower seeds
15g Cacao powder
1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon

½ tsp Vanilla bean paste (vanilla essence works as well)
8 pitted dates
Handful of either Pepitas or coconut to roll balls in


1. Add Almonds, Brazil nuts, Sunflower seeds, cacao powder and cinnamon to TMX bowl. 
Speed 9 / 20 secs until bread crumb consistency
2. Add vanilla and dates
Speed 9 / approx 20 secs until combined
3. Add approx 2 tbsp of water (mixture should be sticky but not mushy)
Speed 4 / approx 5 secs until combined and can form a soft ball
4. Roll mixture into balls
5. Without washing TMX bowl, blitz 2 tbsp of pepita seeds
6. Roll balls in either pepita seeds or coconut


Tip: This makes approx 10 balls so you may want to double the mixture

  1. OMG- these are amazing so fudgy and chocolately- they taste really naughty but are so good. I rolled the balls in coconut and blizted pepitas. I did have to clean the bowl before blitzing as it was a bit sticky!
