Fudge Balls

You are going to love these fudge balls. They are full of rich chocolate flavour and have a melt in your mouth texture.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In your food processor grind the cashews and coconut butter until smooth.
  • Place a medium sized sauce pan on medium heat on the stove.
  • Add your cashew-coconut mixture, honey and vanilla to pot and stir well.
  • Once your mix has been heating for a couple minutes add the cocoa powder and stir well until all the cocoa powder chunks have dissolved.
  • Add the sea salt and stir well.
  • Remove your saucepan from the heat.
  • Turn your oven on to 300F.
  • Add the shredded coconut to your pot and stir until ingredients are combined.
  • Let the ingredients in your pot cool for 5-10 minutes (it is easier to form the balls if the mixture is cool).
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Create 1 inch balls with your dough and place on lined cookie sheet (** HINT: these are very crumbly so wet your hands every couple of balls and they will stick better. Use the palm of your hands and press firmly to make the balls).
  • Cook the macaroons for 10-11 minutes (you don't want to overcook these or the bottoms will burn and turn dry).

Notes

I actually like these better when they are cold. The fudgy centre just tastes better that way somehow.
