I love the recipes which basically instruct you to blend the ingredients and enjoy the taste. This is one of them.
You’ve got guests coming tonight and no idea what to serve with a bottle of wine? The kids are craving something sweet? Give this simple yet amazingly tasty and healthy recipe a go – you will love it!
No need to soak the cashews the night before – just soak them into warm water and they will be ready for blending within half an hour.
Some may say that this recipe isn’t healthy as cashews are highly caloric and rich in fats. They are but in healthy fats! As for the calories counting, yes. Cashews have almost 600 kcal per 100 grams, however, these are not the same calories as those you find in, say 100 grams of potato chips. This tasty nut is abundant in health benefits, from a better heart condition to weight loss. So, if you are into whole foods, there is no need to fear the calorie intake from this nut.

minutesIf we disregard the 30 mins of cashew soaking, this recipe requires 15 or fewer minutes of your time. The taste is both creamy, due to cashews and coconut butter and refreshing, due to the lemon juice.
Ingredients

100 gr coconut butter
Tablespoon of lemon juice
Desiccated coconut
A teaspoon of coconut oil
Maple syrup or a sweetener of your choice
Directions
- Soak the cashews in warm water for around 30 mins. Rinse and drain.
- Transfer the cashews into a food processor or a chopper. Add the remaining ingredients except for the desiccated coconut, and pulse until you get a smooth mixture.

- Let it rest in the fridge or freezer, for at least half an hour. Enjoy!
