Ingredients Needed for no bake blueberry cheesecake balls
Raw Cashews– These little gems help add a creaminess factor to the treats!
Pitted Medjool Dates
Vanilla Extract– adds delicious flavor and take these bites to the next level!
Frozen Blueberries– packed with flavor and a beautiful blue color!!
Coconut Flour– a delicious gluten-free option!
How to Make These No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Balls
First, you will need to soak your RAW cashews for at LEAST 2 hours in hot water with a pinch of salt or at room temperature water overnight if you have time. Use any medium to small bowl you have to do this.
Second, check if your Medjool dates are soft enough to easily tear. If they are too tough, you can soak them as well in hot water for 10 minutes or so. Once they are softened, drain the water and set aside.
Next, get out your food processor. This is an essential kitchen tool to use when making balls. This helps blend everything nicely together to achieve a smooth texture for rolling into balls.
We don’t want to overdo the pulsing or blending, but if you desire a smoother texture, pulse more than 3 times. You will most likely need to scrape down the sides of your food processor in order to get everything incorporated, so keep a small rubber headed spatula or butter knife on standby.
After you are done blending, set your mixture aside in the fridge for 20-30 minutes in order for it to set up and make the rolling process easier.
Finally, you can take out your chilled mixture and start forming into roughly one inch balls!
Why You Should Soak Your Nuts or Seeds Prior to Making Your Blueberry Cheesecake Balls
- Improved taste- soaking removes the dust, residue, from the skin.
- Gooey Protein Balls – the consistency is so much smoother.
- Easier food preparation – now that the cashews are softer, they are so much easier to work with!
