How to make this recipe
Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.
- Soak the cashews in cold water overnight or in boiling water for 15 minutes.
- Add to a food processor along with all the other ingredients.
Tip: You can get hold of cacao butter online, in local health food stores or large supermarkets.
- Whizz until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust flavour accordingly.
- Put the mixture (keeping it in the food processor but you can transfer to a bowl if you wish) into the fridge and leave for 2 hours to harden – the mixture should be hard enough to easily shape into balls.
How to decorate
- Mix together the chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries in a bowl.
- Use two teaspoons to make a teaspoon-sized ball of the mixture.
- Roll the ball in the chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries then place onto a plate.
Other ingredients you can use for decoration
- Desiccated coconut.
- Melted dark chocolate.
- Beetroot powder.
- Matcha powder.
- Cocoa powder.
How long do these keep for?
These keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, which means they're perfect for gifting!
Substitutions you can make
- The cashew nuts can be replaced with macadamia nuts (though I personally much preferred the texture of the cashew nuts).
- The cacao butter can be replaced with coconut butter or coconut oil (though the truffles will have a coconut flavour if you use either of these).
- You can use any type of liquid sweetener: maple syrup, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc.

I'm not sure how you got these to cream? I soaked the cashews overnight, tried blending in the food processor and the vitamixer...still have chunks of nuts (not enough moisture to make them cream? What a mess and a waste of ingredients!

I'm sorry to hear that - do you have a high speed food processor? You'll need quite a high speed one for this.
