Ingredients
| 125g | dark tahini |
|---|---|
| 115g | raw honey, maple syrup or rice syrup |
| 50g | raw cacao powder |
| 25g | coconut oil |
| 25g | ripe avocado |
| 1 tbsp | sesame seeds |
| extra cacao powder, to coat (optional) | |
| bee pollen granules, to coat (optional) |
Essential kit
You will need a food processor.
Method
Put all the ingredients, except the sesame seeds, in a food processor and whizz until you have a sticky paste. Add the sesame seeds and pulse a few times to combine – the seeds need to remain whole.
Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour so that it firms up a little.
Divide the mixture into 16 evenly sized portions and roll into balls. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands a little.
On separate plates, sprinkle a layer of bee pollen granules and some cacao powder, if desired. Gently roll the balls in one or the other. They should be less sticky now and easy to roll into the perfect shape.
Put the balls back in the fridge for at least another hour before eating. Serve chilled.
