Lemon Bliss Balls May 20, 2014 by Bianca 63 Comments

Growing up I loved poems. I would sit in my room and write poems for hours on end. I had books and diaries full of them. They were bad to say the least but they served a purpose at the time. I spent much of my youth with my Gran. She liked poems too. Simple ones, ones that I understood, ones that we could share. Her favourite (one that she told me countless times) and wrote in many of my little books has become my favourite. It still often plays in my mind. “Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another’s trouble, Courage in your own.” By Adam Lindsay Gordon My daughter also loves poems, again the simple ones. Her favourite is this – To wake up in the morning, and always see the sun, no matter what the weather, your glad the days begun, because there’s a certain someone, who turns the grey skies blue, and in my case that someone, I’m glad to say is you. I cannot tell you where that one comes from; I learnt it when I was very young. Now that I am a Mum we change the final ‘You’ to ‘Lu’ and my daughter thinks this is great, a poem just for her. Lemon Bliss Balls 1 cup raw cashews 1 cup desiccated coconut zest of one large lemon* juice of half a lemon (optional) 1/2 teaspoon concentrated natural vanilla extract pinch of salt 2 tablespoon maple syrup extra desiccated coconut for rolling in * double the lemon if you like a bit more tang.

Using your hands shape the mixture into balls. Roll in coconut and place in the fridge to firm up a little. Eat and enjoy!!! Note – Try not to over blend the mixture if you are using a high powered processor or you may end up with a butter as opposed to a mix you can roll into balls.
