Why are matcha and raspberry used together in these bliss balls?

Matcha's earthy notes beautifully complement the tart sweetness of fresh raspberries, creating a balanced and vibrant flavor profile in these bliss balls.

Do these Matcha Raspberry Bliss Balls require any cooking?

No, these bliss balls are entirely raw; all ingredients are simply pulsed in a food processor and then rolled into shape, making them a no-bake treat.

How do I ensure the bliss ball mixture becomes a smooth paste?

Start by pulsing the ingredients on a slow speed until they clump, then increase the speed in the food processor to achieve a consistently smooth, pliable paste for rolling.

What can I use to coat these Matcha Raspberry Bliss Balls?

The recipe suggests chia seeds, raw cacao, or additional matcha powder for coating, allowing you to customize the outer texture and flavor of each ball.

How should I store these Matcha Raspberry Bliss Balls?

Store the finished bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for longer freshness, ensuring they remain firm.

How to Prepare Matcha Raspberry Bliss Balls [Vegan, Raw]

Put all the ingredients except those you're going to use to coat the bliss balls in a food processor and pulse on a slow speed. The mixture should start to clump together; once this happens you can increase the speed to create a smooth paste.
Use a teaspoon to scoop out a little of the mixture at a time and roll into balls using your hands.
Put each of the coating ingredients in a small bowl and roll each ball in turn to cover completely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

I coated these Bliss Balls using chia seeds, raw cacao and a mixture of raw cacao and matcha powder. If you’re new to matcha, I’d suggest only using a tiny amount in this way, as the initial taste can be quite strong, but it really does work well in combination with the raw cacao!
