- 1/2 cup raw cashews , quick soaked for 1 hour in hot water, then drained and rinsed with cold water
- 1/3 cup coconut cream (not coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup finely shredded coconut + more to roll the candy
- 16 raw almonds (can use peeled almonds)
Place cashews in a food processor and process until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl.
Add coconut cream, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and 1 cup shredded coconut. Stir to combine.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes until hard.
Remove from the fridge and scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for each truffle.
Place an almond in the middle and roll into a ball. Roll into shredded coconut.
Place on a parchment paper lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Notes:
Keep refrigerated. You can skip soaking the cashews, but by soaking them the texture of the candy is smoother and they are easier digested.
