5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

🌟 Tips / Variations

• Mix berries for a colourful spring feel. Freeze-dried strawberries or mixed berries work beautifully.

• Toast nuts lightly before processing for richer flavour.

• Macadamias make the balls creamy, almonds add crunch, cashews balance sweetness.

• Optional: drizzle with melted dark chocolate before chilling for an extra indulgent treat.
