swedish chocolate balls

dear people who love eating healthy yummy things,

as promised, i'm putting together a collection of healthy mainly vegan recipes and passing them around so we can all enjoy the delights of eating well. since i've just returned from a lovely summer time in sweden.... 

here's an easy, healthy version of a swedish favourite, chocolate balls. doesn't even need cooking! See recipe below.....

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 heaped dessertspoons honey

1/4 sesame seeds ground almost to a paste in coffee grinder OR

use 1/4 cup tahini paste

2-3 tablespoons soy milk to moisten

dessicated coconut

place all ingredients except soy milk and coconut in a food processor and pulse till combined 

add just enough soy milk to enable you to roll into balls (i made 10 smallish ones but you can make them as large as you like!)

roll in coconut or cocoa powder and enjoy :)
