Escape to the tropics with these vibrant Mango Coconut Bliss Balls! We combine sweet dates, tangy mango, and lime zest into a cohesive dough using a simple food processor method.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried mango (softened, chopped)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (for the mixture)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (reserved for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine the dry base ingredients (oats and 1/2 cup desiccated coconut) in a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse flour consistency. Set aside the 1/4 cup of reserved coconut for coating later.
  2. Step 2: Add the chopped dried mango, pitted dates, lime juice, lime zest, and sea salt to the food processor. Process until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough that pulls away from the sides.
  3. Step 3: Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it firmly between your palms to form small, bite-sized balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter).
  4. Step 4: Place the reserved 1/4 cup of desiccated coconut in a shallow dish. Roll each formed ball in the coconut until it is evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the finished Coconut Mango Bliss Balls on a plate or lined container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for easy access throughout the week, or flash freeze them for a delicious long-term snack option.
  • If you prefer a softer, chewier consistency rather than straight-from-the-fridge firmness, let the balls rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • These vibrant spheres make an excellent grab-and-go breakfast option or a delightful afternoon indulgence served chilled alongside a hot cup of black or mint tea.
  • If your dried mango is particularly tough, soak the pieces in hot water for five minutes and pat them completely dry before processing; this guarantees a smooth, easily cohesive dough.
