Raw, Vegetarian, and Totally Delicious: These Tahini Bliss Balls will Make You the Star of Every Holiday Party

December 10, 2018 By kjain

 

The holidays are right around the corner. Your sweet tooth wants to strike the right balance this year, between overindulgence in that extra slice of pie and complete abstinence of desserts at the holiday table. What if I told you that you could not only indulge at the dessert table this year but also feel good about it? Before you dismiss me, hear me out: I’m talking about raw desserts.

Raw desserts are delicious treats made using wholesome ingredients like nuts and seeds, and other good fats like coconut oil or avocados. Nuts and seeds are essential good fats, and sprouting actually increases their nutritional value. Raw desserts do not use any refined sugars, and are sweetened using natural sweeteners like jaggery, evaporated cane juice, honey, maple syrup, stevia, or sometimes soaked dried fruits like dates, plum, or apples. Some of them contain probiotic powders that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria that are essential for good gut health.

There are many healthy raw dessert recipes, but this one is my favorite for the winter. Besides the healthful ingredients, it is very easy to put together, which is an added plus, especially in the upcoming busy holiday season.  

No- Bake Tahini Bliss Balls

These No-Bake Tahini Bliss Balls are nutritious, free of refined sugars, and very easy to prepare. According to Ayurveda, the heavy, heating, and oily qualities of raw tahini or sesame seed butter pacify the cold and dry qualities of Vata. In addition to this, Tahini is packed with minerals and vitamins and is a great source of calcium. Raw honey is a great natural sweetener with heating and astringent properties that pacify Kapha, making these my favorite go-to winter indulgence.

Ingredients (All organic)

Makes 6 servings

  • ½ cup “Raw” Tahini Butter
  • 2 tbsp “Raw” Honey
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds

Method

Hand mix the tahini, honey, walnuts dates, and cinnamon until they come together. Make six bliss balls. Roll each ball in sesame seeds to coat evenly. Keep at room temperature. Enjoy.

As you indulge your sweet tooth this holiday season, do not forget to include raw desserts, and feel good about the added health benefits you will gain as a result of it.
