How to make coconut bliss balls: key tips

Crush the biscuits in a food processor until crumbs form. You could also place the biscuits in a sealable bag and bash with a rolling pin, if you like. Just ensure that the crushed pieces are small enough and as even as possible. Then it’s just a matter of mixing all the ingredients together.

Roll the balls to about the size of a walnut, using wet hands so that the mixture doesn’t stick to your skin. You’ll then need to roll the balls in extra coconut until they are well coated. 

Key ingredients in this coconut bliss balls recipe

Any sweet plain biscuits will work for these bliss balls. Try Marie or Milk Arrowroots, for example. Use a good-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolatey taste.

Desiccated coconut adds sweetness and texture to these bliss balls, while also ensuring the outside of the balls aren’t sticky.

Sweetened condensed milk is like the glue that holds everything together in these balls. It also adds a delicious creamy caramel flavour.

Love these balls? Fantastic! How about adding Weet-Bix bliss balls and Milo balls to your snack-time menu, too?
