Paleo Cashew Butter Truffles

Paleo Cashew Butter Truffles

November 8, 2013 11811 views

The soft cashew butter center is a great way to get good fat and protein in a sweet and easily digested manner. Slightly sweetened with dates and chocolate, these little bites are a great afternoon snack!

Cashew Butter Center

•  2 cups cashews

•  1/2 cup almonds

•  1/2 cup brazil nuts, walnuts, or pecans

•  12-15 dates, pitted*

•  2 tbsp coconut oil

•  1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

•  1/2 tsp sea salt, finely ground

{finely shredded coconut, unsweetened}

Chocolate Glaze

•  4 tbsp cacao powder

•  4 tbsp coconut oil

•  2 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey

Directions For Paleo Cashew Butter Truffles

•  Before you begin, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place in the freezer.

•  Soak cashews, almonds, dates, and salt in water for 2 hours.

•  Drain and pat nuts and dates dry to remove any excess moisture.

•  Add in coconut oil and cinnamon.

•  Using a food processor or immersion blender puree until a smooth yet thick mixture forms.

•  Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes—this makes forming the balls a lot easier.

•  Make the chocolate glaze by whisking together all ingredients.

•  Using a cookie scoop, scoop cashew butter mixture into small balls continuing to form with your hands.

•  Dip cashew centers in chocolate glaze and place on a frozen cookie sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.  Sprinkle with shredded coconut.

•  Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set up before enjoying!

*I used deglet dates which are smaller than Medjool dates.  If you are using a larger sized date just use a lesser quantity.

Caroline's journey of cooking began at an early age, helping her dad make his famous Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, however, at the age of 20, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Miserable, helpless and barely able to walk up a flight of stairs, she took matters into her own hands, going against the odds of conventional medicine. She began searching for alternative ways to eat, eventually removing all grains, carbohydrates, and sugar from her diet. Returning to fresh foods as they are found in nature can be the most powerful form of medicine! Caroline is a NTP, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, currently living in Hawaii as her husband is serves in the US Navy. She is the author of Colorful Eats and is determined to share her story in hopes to impact the lives of others!

    Those look amazingly tasty! Have you tried coconut sugar to make paleo chocolate from the bean? You could dip these cashew butter truffles in it. Here is my recipe for bean-to-bar paleo chocolate: http://ultimatechocolateblog.blogspot.ca/2014/05/whipping-up-some-low-gi-chocolate-from.html
