Chocolate Cashew Butter… If you ask me, Chocolate + Nut butter = A match made in heaven, really!
Adding chocolate-i-ness, along with the subtle hint of cinnamon takes this cashew butter up to the next level. Try it, you won’t be sorry!
This can be made either into a spreadable cashew butter, or a mylk chocolate block! See my note under the recipe for instructions on making a block of choccie. The result is nothing short of ahhhmazing! It’s much creamier and not as rich as regular home made chocolate, which is generally very ‘dark’.
Chocolate Cashew Butter
Ingredients
- 300 g unsalted cashews
- 60 g cacao butter
- 20 g cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 15 g honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Up to 50g macadamia oil or other flavourless oil, as required
Instructions
- Toast cashews in a frying pan until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool a little, then transfer to mixer bowl.
- Add cacao butter, cacao powder, cinnamon, honey and salt. Blend 30 seconds/speed 8. Scrape down bowl.
- Blend 3 minutes/speed 5-6, stopping a few times to scrape down the bowl.
- Add 30g of the oil. Mix 20 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down bowl, and add remaining oil, if needed.
