These Strawberry Bliss Balls are a delicious and healthy no-bake treat made from fresh strawberries, oats, sunflower seeds, and coconut. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla essence, they are perfect as a nutritious snack or dessert. Coated in desiccated coconut for an extra burst of texture and flavor, these bliss balls require no cooking and come together quickly with the help of a food processor.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 20 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 200 g strawberries (approximately 1 cup sliced or 12 strawberries)
  • 150 g oats (1.5 cups)
  • 140 g sunflower seeds (1 cup)
  • 50 g desiccated coconut (0.5 cups)
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

For Coating

  • 2 Tbsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

  1. Watch the Recipe Video: Before starting, watch the quick recipe video to familiarize yourself with the process and notes about ingredient variations and adjustments.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Remove the tops from the strawberries and slice or measure them to 200 g. This equals about 1 cup sliced strawberries.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place the strawberries, oats, sunflower seeds, 50 g desiccated coconut, maple syrup, and vanilla essence into a food processor.
  4. Process the Mixture: Blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture forms a fine paste and comes together into a rollable dough. This may take a few minutes, so be patient and blend well.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to handle and roll. If you used frozen berries, this step can be skipped.
  6. Scoop the Dough: Use a damp tablespoon to scoop out portions of the dough, which helps prevent sticking to the spoon.
  7. Form the Balls: With damp hands, roll the dough into smooth balls. The moisture will stop the mixture from sticking to your hands.
  8. Coat the Balls: Roll each ball in the 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut by placing the coconut in a small bowl and coating each ball evenly.
  9. Refrigerate: Place the coated balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to set and develop flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Using a food processor is essential to achieve the smooth, cohesive dough texture for easy rolling.
  • Chilling the dough before rolling makes the process less sticky and easier to manage.
  • A damp spoon and damp hands significantly reduce stickiness during shaping.
  • Although coconut oil was originally suggested, this recipe works well without it.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute desiccated coconut in the mixture with coconut flour as shown in the original video, but the texture will vary.
  • For best taste and texture, refrigerate the bliss balls for several hours or overnight.
