Pear bliss balls

9th November 2016 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

pear bliss balls

I do love a bliss ball, a healthy, refined sugar free morsel of energy can keep you going when you’re trying to hold out until tea time. I adore pears, sweet, juicy and delicately flavoured, they are such a pretty fruit. I decided to combine my two loves this month and the pear bliss ball was formed!

These are almost raw, apart from the pear puree- but they’re still refined sugar free and thanks to the puree you’re getting a fair bit of fruit in each bite too.

These little cuties are packed with all the good stuff – nuts, fruit, oats and chlorella. This superfood has the highest chlorophyll of any plant and is a whopping 56% protein. It alkalises the body, improves digestion (I can vouch for this) and increases energy, it’s powerful stuff! You can’t even taste it in these balls, so these would be great for little ones too. If you don’t have chlorella you can try using wheatgrass, matcha or spirulina instead.

Pear bliss balls  – Makes around 16

  • 4 pears, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp all spice
  • 1-2 tsp chlorella (I always use Organic Burst)
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • Cacao nibs, mint leaves and cacao powder for decoration
  1. Make your pear puree by adding pears, water, coconut sugar and lemon juice to a small pan. Bring to the boil and then simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes, until sweet and thick. Set aside to cool.
  2. Add almonds and pecans to a food processor and pulse until small, crumbly pieces. Add in oats, cinnamon, all spice and chlorella and pulse again until combined. Add dates and 3/4 cup of pear puree and pulse until a dough is formed. If it’s too sticky, add a few more oats, tbsp at a time. If it’s too dry, add a little water until the mixture comes together.
  3. Shape mix into little pear shapes. The best way to do this is to make a ball, then start rolling the top half of the ball flat on a board with your finger, to make a little pear shape. Add a little cacao nib for the stem and mint for the leaves and dust lightly with cacao powder. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm a vegan recipe developer from the UK with a passion for healthy, delicious food. Read More…

This is the carrot cake of dreams 🤩🥕🍰 mel This is the carrot cake of dreams 🤩🥕🍰 melt in your mouth tender, perfectly spiced and topped with the most creamy and light dairy free whipped cream frosting. I’ve totally revamped my old recipe and made 5 variations over the last week 😅 and this one surpassed them all. A decent amount of spice (crucial imo), super moist crumb and deliciously light frosting. Making it into a sheet cake rather than a loaf cake gives a much better icing to cake ratio too 😋 The best part? It comes together in minutes, the hardest part is grating the carrot! 🥕Enjoy xoxoxo

Carrot Cake

175g muscavado or light brown sugar
175ml sunflower/rapeseed oil
3 tbsp flaxseed w/6 tbsp cold water
140g grated carrot
50g raisins/sultanas
50g finely chopped walnuts
1 orange, zested
175g self raising flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Topping 

110g vegan whipping cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp finely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 170•c and line a 20cm square baking tin. In a mixing bowl, mix together sugar, oil and flaxseed gel. Add in carrots, raisins, walnuts and orange zest and stir to combine. Sift in the flour, soda and spices and fold through until fully incorporated. Pour batter into tin and bake for 45-50 mins until the middle is slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully.
Prepare icing by whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla with an electric whisk until thick. Spread a thick layer over the cake and sprinkle with walnuts. Chop into squares and enjoy!
