Paleo Chocolate Fudge Haystacks
These little energy bites are the perfect sweet treat when you just want to pop something in your mouth.
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
Recipe Notes
I prefer these served cold, straight from the fridge. You can also let them come to room temp to enjoy.
