“Espresso Cashew Butter” 👨🏽🍳☕🍫🥜 Homemade Espresso Cashew Butter made with just five ingredients and ready in 15 minutes Vegan, gluten-free and Whole30 compliant! 😎
YIELD:16oz jar 1x
Ingredients:
4 cups raw cashews (see notes)
2–3 TBSP espresso beans
2 tsp coconut oil
2 tsp cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325ºF and place cashews on a large baking sheet. Spread evenly in one layer; toast for 8-10 minutes. Let nuts cool on pan for 10 minutes.
2. Place slightly cooled cashews in bowl of food processor with espresso beans and cover with lid. Process until everything breaks down and cashews start to almost get smooth. You can add oil here to help speed things up. Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary. The time it takes will depend on the power of your food processor, or blender and bowl capacity.
3. Once the cashew butter is almost creamy add cocoa powder and vanilla; continue processing until desired consistency is reached – the longer you process, the smoother and drippier the butter will be. The bowl will likely be warm so allow the cashew butter to cool slightly before putting in jar.
Transfer Espresso Cashew Butter to 16oz jar with lid. Or divide into smaller containers. Store at room temperature, or fridge for longer period of time.
4. Enjoy on toast, over oatmeal, in cookies, or just by the spoonful. 😀
