Orange Choc Balls

Do you love the classic choc–orange flavour combination? These Orange Choc Balls are a delicious little snack treat that’s full of flavour and so easy to make. 🍊🍫

They’re perfect to keep in the fridge or freezer for when sweet cravings hit, and they make a great grab-and-go snack or healthier dessert option.

What you need:

• 1/2 cup of Almond Meal (or raw almonds)
• 1/2 cup of Coconut Flour
• 4 tablespoons of Herbalife Vanilla Shake Mix (add more if you like)
• 1 tablespoon of Cacao Powder
• 5 dried Apricots (shredded)
• 3 tablespoons of Coconut Oil (melted)
• Zest from 1 whole Orange (add more or less to taste)
• Juice from 1/2 an Orange (add more if needed)
• Desiccated or shredded Coconut (for rolling)

What to do:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Add in the melted coconut oil, orange zest and orange juice, then mix until well combined.
3. Stir through the shredded apricots.
4. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more orange juice. If it’s too wet, add a small amount of coconut flour until you reach the right consistency.
5. Break the mixture into small chunks and shape into balls. Leave them to sit for a few minutes so they can firm up slightly.
6. Roll the balls until smooth, then coat them in desiccated or shredded coconut.
7. Place the balls in the freezer for around 20 minutes to set. This mixture makes approximately 30 small balls, depending on size.
8. Once set, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy whenever you’re in the mood for a yummy snack!

Tips:

• Adjust the orange zest and juice to suit how strong you like the orange flavour.
• These balls are especially nice straight from the freezer on warmer days.
• If using raw almonds instead of almond meal, blitz them first in a food processor before mixing with the other dry ingredients.
