Notes

Dates need to be pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes to soften them. Don’t throw the date water. If your coconut-almond bliss ball dough feels too crumbly, add it to get the consistency right. It’ll help bind the mix.
Use whole almonds (no soaking, blanching, or peeling necessary) or almond meal or flour.
If the bliss ball dough is overly sticky or wet, add flaxseed powder, almond meal, or almond flour to it.
If your blender is not strong enough to pulse all the ingredients together, powder the almonds before you throw in the rest of the ingredients for the bliss balls.
Adjust the rose flavor to your taste. Rose water can vary in strength, so start with the recommended amount and add more if needed.
Chill the mixture before rolling if it feels sticky.
Coating the bliss balls is completely optional. I used finely chopped pistachios and desiccated coconut mixed with beetroot powder. You can use finely chopped almonds, shredded coconut, or even dip them in chocolate as I did for my chickpea protein balls.
