Cocoa Balls

Recently I have decided to eliminate  sugar in my life, after I discovered how the industry is trying to make us sick by feeding us with these junk food and make money our from our illness. I don't usually eat desserts, the only dessert I used to eat regularly was dark chocolate. But even if the high percentage ones have sugar in it, so I decided to make my own no sugar chocolate. I found couple of recipes online and tried. It was a successful attempt to soothe my craving. I used only mulberry and raisins cause those are the only ones I had at home, if you have any other kind of dried fruit such as dates you can use it. But be careful, dates will be sweeter.
*This recipe is for 20 balls

Ingredients

• 1/2 ounce of peanuts
• 2-3 walnuts (you can add more)
• 1 ounce of hazelnuts
• 1.5 ounce of dried mulberry 
• 1 ounce of raisins 
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 egg
• Coconut (optional)

Preparation

First put nuts into a food processor and grind them about 1 minute. Then add dried fruits and grind them one more time.

Lastly add egg and cocoa powder and grind one last time.

Take the mixture in a bowl and knead it.

I did small ones and had 20 of them. You can make bigger balls. You can sprinkle some coconut on top f them if you want.
Bake it about 20 minutes in a 350 F preheated oven. If you don't want to put egg you don't need to bake it. You can just chill in the fridge.

Enjoy!
