Here’s our final segment for 2012 and what a hoot it is! We had a cracker of a time shooting season two of HeathtalksTV in Melbourne this month. Graciously hosted by organically minded friends (whom I have known since my Collingwood days) Walter and Dorota Trupp from Trupp Cooking School who let us use their fab kitchen located near the Prahran Market in Melbourne.
HT Totes Amazeballs Deluxe
These luxurious superfood balls will have you zinging all the way to Christmas Day with bells on. Start out with the nuts, some dried fruit and then add a selection of your favourite superfoods such as mesquite, macqui or maca. Add a hint of premium food grade essential oil like peppermint or Christmas spirit.
1 cup almonds
1 cup macadamia nuts
½ cup currants
½ cup Medjool dates
2 tablespoons raw cacao
2 tablespoons cacao butter, melted – I use this brand
½ cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon mesquite powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon organic vanilla essence
3 drops of Christmas Spirit essential oil available here
Coconut for rolling
- Place all ingredients in a high-speed food processor and blitz together until the mixture starts to combine and stick
- Roll into golf ball sized balls, roll in coconut and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving
- These balls are best kept chilled and do not like being out of the fridge for more than an hour
