Method
- Add all the bliss ball ingredients to the food processor. Process on high speed for a couple of minutes until the ingredients are finely chopped and starting to clump together (you might need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a couple of times). The mixture should be moist and easy to press and roll into balls.
- Using a tablespoon measure (we used a 15ml tablespoon), scoop up the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used. We made 16 bliss balls from a batch.
- Next, roll the bliss balls through the remaining finely shredded coconut.
- Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy 1 or 2 low FODMAP chocolate coconut bliss balls balls per serving.
- Freezing option: If you want to make a couple of batches of these, you can freeze them and store them for up to 3 months.
Buying Tips
Make sure you use pure maple syrup (low FODMAP) not maple flavoured syrup (potentially high FODMAP).
Gluten Free Tips
If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
Dairy Free Tips
There are no dairy free tips for this recipe.
