Lemon cheesecake Balls

I went to a talk hosted by Tara Hawkens from The Wellness Tree, and she finished the night with a few of her bliss balls.  The lemon ones were so moorish I thought I would give them a go.  I have no idea what her recipe was, I don’t think she would have used cream cheese in hers, but I tried this combination and the kids and I loved them so thought I would share.  Such a simple recipe to use up some of those Winter lemons and kid friendly for lunchboxes too.  I love something simple that can replace store bought muesli bars or snacks.

    • Hi, I'm Shanai!

      Hi Bruno, these won’t go completely hard, they are a soft style bliss ball, but should still hold their shape.
