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.
