JAFFA ORANGE CHRISTMAS PUDDING ENERGY BITES
Created for Jaffa by Samantha Hadadi
- 2 x Jaffa Juicy Oranges, zested and juiced
- 1 x Cup of Pecans, grounded to flour
- 1 x Cup of Medjool Dates, pitted
- ½ x Cup Almonds, grounded
- 1 x Large Handful of Dried Fruit
- 1 x Pinch of Nutmeg
- 1 x TSP Vanilla
- 1 x TSP Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ x TSP Ginger (or more, to taste)
Optional: Maple Syrup if you like it sweeter
For Decorating:
- 100g x White Chocolate
- 1 x TSP Coconut Oil
- Edible Holly Sprinkles
- Soak the Medjool Dates in hot water (use enough water to just cover the dates) for ten minutes.
- Once the Medjool Dates have soaked, place them in a blender and blitz to a paste, adding small splashes of their soaking water until you’re done. Then set aside.
- Stir together the Pecans, Jaffa Juicy Orange zest and spices until combined. Fold in the date paste, dried fruit and a squeeze of Jaffa Juicy Orange juice.
- Roll the mixture into balls (you can add a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweeter hit, if desired), adding more ground almonds if the mix is too sticky. Then chill for 20 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate with coconut oil, then drizzle over each energy ball. Decorate with edible holly sprinkles.
- Enjoy!
