Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup roasted cashews
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add cashews. Since cashews are already roasted, all we want to do is get their flavors come back to life (roasted nuts can get a little stale from sitting on a shelf). Be careful not to burn the cashews, as soon as they warm up and become fragrant, remove from heat and transfer to a dish to cool completely.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil. Add in cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract and sea salt, and stir to combine; remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a heat proof bowl, fold in shredded coconut and cashews, and refrigerate for another 10 minutes. Make sure mixture doesn’t harden completely, keep an eye on it.
- Once mixture obtains a paste-like consistency, drop it by the spoonful on the lined baking sheet. Batter yields ~14 clusters. Place in freezer until hardened and enjoy.
