Paleo Chocolate Fudge Haystacks
(Paleo, Dessert, GAPS, No added sweetener)
Ingredients
- 2 cups cashews preferably soaked and dehydrated
- 2 cups dates soaked for 20-30 minutes first
- 1 package coconut cream concentrate or use coconut butter
- 1 tbsp organic vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1/8 cup cacao butter
- 4 tbsp organic cocoa powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups finely shredded coconut
Instructions
-
In your food processor combine the dates, cashews and coconut cream (I had to do this in 2 batches given the amount) and blend until dates are smooth and cashews in are fine pieces
-
Place a medium sized pot on the stove on low heat and transfer your cashew-date-coconut mixture to the pot
-
Add the vanilla extract, butter/ghee, cacao butter, cocoa powder and sea salt to the pot
-
Allow the butters to melt and stir to combine the ingredients
-
Once well combined turn off the heat and add the finely shredded coconut to the mix
-
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray/sheet
-
Form 1-1.5" balls with your hands and place on the parchment lined baking tray (see images)
-
Place the tray in the fridge and allow to cool for approximately 2 hours
Again, like most of my desserts I actually like these better cold. You will just have to see what you think!
Let me know if you have any questions!
where do you find many of these ingredients (ex:cacoa butter, coconut crème concentrate?)
Hey thanks for getting in touch! I have updated the post to include links to these products on Amazon. You can also find them in any health food/ organic store. Usually in the baking section. Hope that helps 🙂
Hey there,
would these freeze okay? And for how long would they stay good in the freezer?
I’ve personally never tried freezing them but I think they would be fine. I usually just leave them in the fridge and they last for weeks so I imagine they would last a long time in the freezer.
