White Chocolate Peppermint Cashew Bites
Minty, creamy, smooth, and sweet - these bites are the perfect little snack! They will satisfy your sweet tooth with such a delicious burst of flavour and are super nourishing and energizing with healthy fats and grass fed collagen. Did I mention they only take a few minutes to whip up!?
Like most of our recipes, these little treats can be made in any of our elixir flavours - so if you have another flavour on hand that you prefer, try it out!
While the recipe calls for raw honey to sweeten, you could also omit or use a sweetener like monk fruit or stevia if you are looking for a sugar free snack!
White Chocolate Peppermint Cashew Bites
Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews (see note for substitutes)
1/4 cup White Chocolate Peppermint elixir
1-2 TBSP raw honey, to taste (see note for substitutes)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until a dough forms. I like to leave a few small chunks of cashews for texture, but you could process until smooth if you prefer!
Roll into small balls, about a heaping tsp each, and place on a parchment lined plate or baking tray. Set in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Optional step: gently melt 1 heaping TBSP of our Salted Hot Chocolate either in a bowl over warm water or in the microwave for 10 seconds. Drizzle over balls and place back in the freezer for 5 minutes. You could also melt chocolate chips or whatever chocolate you have on hand!
Store balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Notes:
• I love cashews for the extra creaminess and mild flavour they lend to this recipe, however they could be substituted for any other combination of nuts/seeds, even shredded coconut!
• You may omit the honey or substitute it for another sweetener of choice. If using a non-liquid sweetener you may need to add a very small amount of milk to add moisture.
• If you don't have a food processor, you could blend the cashews until they are in very small chunks then mix everything by hand in a bowl - it'll be a bit of a workout but I believe in you ;)
