It’s the weekend and you’re about to stuff your face with doughnuts, cakes and ice cream.

And while all those things are ridiculously delicious, they’re probably not helping with the trying-to-be-healthy thing.

So if you’re not too tempted by doughnut porn, have a go at making these Carrot Cake Bliss Balls from the latest issue of Donna Hay's Fresh + Light magazine.

This fresh twist on carrot cake combines the classic flavours of the traditional dessert for a healthy, bite-sized ball of carrot cake delight.
