Mince Pie Bliss Balls
Instructions
-
Place the figs into a large bowl and cover with just boiled water. Allow the figs to rehydrate in the water for 5 minutes before draining thoroughly.
-
Pulse the almonds and pecan nuts in a high speed food processor until they resemble rough bread crumbs. Add the rehydrated figs, raisins, cranberries, orange peel and spices and pulse again until everything has come together to create a nice sticky dough.
-
Use your hands to form tbsp sized chunks of the mixture into 12 nice round balls, before rolling in the topping of your choice (if using).
-
Place the balls in the fridge for an hour to firm up before serving.
