Almond pulp chocolate balls (vegan, GF)

April 24, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

Last post was about making almond milk so logically the next one has to be about what to do with the leftover almond pulp. I just recently started regularly making this milk at home so I’m still new in all this and so far I came up with one great way to use those almonds. I’m sure there will be plenty more as I’m planning to try some other ideas too.


Before I give you the recipe, a little bit about what’s going on and where I am at the moment. I am home yaaaay! 🙂 In case you don’t know I live all over the place (Scotland, Kazakhstan, Turkey, now Switzerland) and sure I call home wherever I live with my husband but still there is only one real home and that is Dubrovnik. It’s where I feel safe and peaceful and I have butterflies in my stomach every time I’m flying and approaching Dubrovnik airport. Spring is such a great time to be here (anytime of the year really has its magic here!), it’s warm but not yet hot, there are a lot of tourists and town is full but not yet over crowded, smells in the air are amazing, food is fresh and healthy and delicious. I love, love seafood and whenever I come home my mum is making all the things I love so we already had baked octopus with roasted potatoes and vegetables, grilled fish with fresh salads and sauteed Swiss chard, grilled calamari with potato salad etc… Oh I also had an amazing dinner in the new restaurant here in Dubrovnik called Pantarul (if you ever get a chance, try it out, you won’t be disappointed!) where I had amazing octopus, potatoes, lamb lettuce burgers and grilled fresh tuna with lots of veg, so yummy! Food we eat here at home is simple, healthy and delicious. Always seasoned with olive oil, salt, rosemary, basil and few other Mediterranean herbs.
I would like to know have you ever been in Croatia, I’m curious by nature so please let me know! 🙂

Now back to today’s recipe! It cannot be more simple, you just collect your leftover almond pulp (after making the milk, put the pulp in the fridge overnight so it dries a bit more before making the balls) and few other ingredients, put everything in a blender and little sweet bites are done!
The recipe is inspired by one of my favorite blogs The Bojon Gourmet and Alanna’ s yummy recipe for Chocolate, Hemp, and Almond Pulp Energy Bites.

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
