Seasonal Sweet Treats

Much as we love a traditional Christmas pudding, these easy treats make a lighter – and healthier – option.  

Snow Balls

Ingredients
65 grams cashews
35 grams desiccated coconut (plus extra for the snow)

2 tablespoons rice malt syrup

Half a teaspoon vanilla powder and a pinch of salt

Blitz all the above in a food processor until really fine, adding a dash of water if the mixture feels like won’t roll into a ball. Divide into 16 balls. Next, grease your hands with a little coconut oil and roll the balls in extra desiccated coconut to create the snow.

Chocolate-spice baubles

Using the same ingredients, repeat the above, but
this time add half a teaspoon of cinnamon or mixed spice, but roll the balls in 70% cocoa powder until completely coated.
