📋Ingredients

To make these easy no-cook dry fruit balls, you need the following items:

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE Power Balls

I use natural almonds, roughly crushed or ground to a coarse powder. They add a lovely nutty flavour and give the balls their texture.

Cashews have a mild, creamy flavour that complements the almonds and walnuts. Broken cashews work perfectly in this recipe.

Walnuts add a rich, earthy flavour to these energy balls. I prefer using plain, unsalted walnuts. Love walnuts? Try eggless chocolate walnut date cake and chocolate walnut mini bites.

Raisins provide natural sweetness and a fruity flavour. Chop them into small pieces so they mix evenly with the ground nuts.

Unsweetened desiccated coconut brings a gentle coconut flavour and gives the mixture its lovely texture. Feel free to coat the finished balls in more coconut for an extra touch. It's one of my favourite ingredients and truly makes these power balls shine. You'll also find it in my nutty coconut bars, lamingtons, and creamy coconut rolls - all delicious coconut treats worth trying.

A little milk helps bind the nuts, raisins, and coconut into a mixture that you can roll easily. I use whole milk, adding it gradually until the mixture holds together.

For the exact quantities, refer to the recipe card below.

👩‍🍳How to make dry fruit balls?

Roughly chop the raisins into small pieces. Avoid grinding them completely, as the little pieces add a nice texture to the finished balls.

Grind the almonds, cashews, and walnuts in a blender or food processor until they form a coarse powder.

milk added to the ground dry fruits

Transfer the ground nuts to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped raisins and desiccated coconut, then mix everything together.

Pour in the milk gradually, mixing as you go. You want a mixture that holds together when pressed without becoming too wet or sticky.

Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a bite-sized ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. If it feels too dry to hold together, add a tiny amount of milk and mix again.

rolled to make balls

Roll the balls in desiccated coconut for a simple coating. Alternatively, leave them plain or add a light dusting of icing sugar if you prefer a sweeter finish.

Place the prepared balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for around 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Storage

Because this recipe contains milk, place the energy balls in an airtight container and refrigerate them promptly.

For the best quality, keep them chilled and follow safe food-storage practices. The storage time will depend on the freshness of your ingredients and how the balls are prepared and handled.

You can also freeze a small batch for later. Thaw them in the refrigerator and check the texture before serving.

❓FAQs

Can I freeze them?

You can freeze them, but the texture may change slightly. Thaw in the fridge before eating.

Are these good for kids?

Absolutely! The natural sweetness from raisins and no refined sugar make them a kid-friendly treat.

Can I make these power balls without nuts?

Yes, you can substitute with seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flax, or use oats and tahini if avoiding nuts.

Tips

Grind the nuts carefully: A coarse powder gives the balls a little texture. Avoid over-processing the nuts into a paste.

Add milk gradually: Start with the quantity listed in the recipe card and add more only if the mixture needs it.

Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer sweeter energy balls, try adding finely chopped dates or another small amount of raisins.

Choose your coating: Desiccated coconut gives the balls a simple finish, but you can also leave them uncoated.

Allow time to chill: Refrigerating the balls helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
