Title: Lemon Bliss Balls
Post by: achookwoman on November 25, 2014, 10:33:50 am
I have had a quick look and can't see a recipe the same,  so am posting.  If already posted please remove.  Friend with the 4 year old who made the Belgium Lemon tea Cake gave me this recipe.

Weigh into TMX bowl,
1 cup of cashew nuts
1 cup of coconut
Zest of 2 lemons, juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons of Maple Syrup or liquid sweetener of choice.
1 teaspoon Vanilla.

Mix on speed 7 until it all comes together. Watch through hole in lid.
Roll into balls and then into extra coconut.
I used a small 3 cm ice cream scoop.
Store in fridge or freeze.

Kimmyh,  I have just made some with walnuts and coffee.  Rolled in Cocoa.
like you I have been really enjoying these balls. I have even made some protein powder to add to the mixture. They have to be healthy!!!

Made them today chookie and they are delicious. Thank you. I peeled my lemons with a veggie peeler and blitz the rind a few times, then added the rest. Very quick to make. I've been making white ones (vanilla balls) and raspberry balls from the Wholefood Simply book lately. These are as good as those.

At 20 to 11 tonight I decided to make these, how quick are they to whip up Cookie.  My Mum will love these, she adores anything lemony.

Judy,  glad you like them. 
Kimmyh, as I use Meyer lemons I sometimes use 3. I use a little zester that makes thin fine strips.

Chookie, these look lovely and are now on my list of things still to make for Christmas.
Did you use Raw cashews? Anyone else that gas made them can let me know also.  ;)

Katj,  could use raw but I used lightly roasted,  not salted.

Healthier too.  GD coming for a couple of days soon.  So going to stack up on nuts.  I think she will be good at rolling little balls.

Chookie, and others, thanks for the answer on cashews.
I forgot to ask, approx what size lemons are we talking about?  Mine are about closed fist size (ladies).

Katj,  because I use Meyer lemons I have to taste the mix and add accordingly.  Usually more rind and more juice.

Pardon my ignorance Chookie, what is a Meyer lemon?
Title: Re: Lemon Bliss Balls
Post by: achookwoman on December 11, 2014, 09:08:10 am
Meyer lemons are a very mild lemon.  Half Orange and half lemon.  We live in a cold climate and this is all we can grow.

Passed your wonderful recipe onto four of my friends Chookie.Sadly they don't own TM's but will use their food processors.

CC,  hope they enjoy them.  I am sure they can make them in a food processor,  just not so easy.

I was talking to Chookie about these today and how I had run out of maple syrup last weekend so couldn't make a second batch.  She suggested using honey or golden syrup ... sadly I hadn't thought of either of these substitutions at the weekend, but will give them a go over Christmas and see if they last any longer than the 'original' mix.
