Craving a healthy and indulgent chocolate treat? Say hello to this easy-peasy Chocolate Honey Cashew Butter! 🥜🍫 It's perfect for slathering on warm toast, mixing into your morning oatmeal, using as a chocolate dip for fruits during your afternoon snack, or a dreamy drizzle over ice cream. But honestly, my guilty pleasure is sneaking spoonfuls straight from the jar when no one’s watching—shhh! 🤫
Making it is a total breeze; just toss all the ingredients into a blender and blend away! If you're starting with raw cashews, just roast them up a bit first to bring out that nutty flavor.
Now, here’s the key tip for achieving that ultra-smooth, creamy goodness: always blend your cashews by themselves before adding in the other ingredients. Why? Because the moisture from the Mānuka honey and chocolate can cause the nuts to seize up, and we definitely want to steer clear of that texture disaster!
So, with that little pro tip in mind, let's dive into whipping up this scrumptious Chocolate Honey Cashew Butter that’s not only delicious but also packed with the awesome benefits of Mānuka honey and nutrient-rich cashews. Get ready to enjoy a treat that’s good for you and tastes amazing! 🌟
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups roasted and salted cashews
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Kai Ora Mānuka Honey
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Get ready to whip up this delicious Chocolate Honey Cashew Butter with these simple ingredients! Your taste buds are in for a treat! 🍯🥜✨
Method
1. If you’re starting with raw cashews, roast them in a 180-degree oven for about 15 minutes until they’re golden brown. Feel free to double the salt in the recipe or adjust it to your taste!
2. Toss the roasted cashews into the bowl of a food processor and blend for a total of 7 to 8 minutes. During this time, you’ll witness a magical transformation—from dry and sandy to sticky and crumbly. Eventually, the cashews will clump together into a large ball.
3. Keep processing until it all smooths out. It should take about 2-3 minutes to reach that velvety texture!
4. Pause the machine and scrape down the sides. You’ll see that the cashew butter is now thick and tacky—this is where the magic happens! ✨
Now you're all set to incorporate this rich, creamy goodness into your favorite treats!
