Ingredients

• 4 handfuls of cashews – soak in filtered water for 2 hours
• 4 tablespoons of agarve syrup (a raw honey can be substituted here)
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 4 tablespoons of cacao butter

Directions

Blend the cashew nuts to a smooth paste, adding a little water if needed to keep mixture blending.

Add the other ingredients slowly at a low speed.  Taking care in blending as this mixture might get warm ( thus destroying good nutrients)

If you leave the cacao butter out on the bench for the same amount of time you are soaking the nuts – it will be soft enough to easily blend in. However, if you are not strictly 100% raw foods, then you may melt the butter in a pan at a low heat.

Once smooth, pour and spread into tray and put into fridge for a few hours to set.

Cut into squares and put into airtight container keeping in the fridge.

I am not sure how long this keeps as it never lasts more than a few days at our house. The beauty of this recipe is that you cannot eat more than a square or two at one time as it packed with nutrients.

This is not a super sweet recipe – nor is it rich - It turns out like a very creamy ‘milk’ chocolate and melts in your mouth. 

Play around with the quantities of agarve and cacao powder for sweetness or intensity of flavour.
