Cashew Crunch Cups
Recipe:
Step 1: Melt one block of dark chocolate, I use 85% Lindt and evenly distributed it in your muffin doilies. Then pop in the freezer to set. This batch made 15
Step 2: chop 1/2 cup cashews and mix it in a bowl with 1/2 cup of peanut butter until well combined
Step 3: make your date paste: start by pouring boiling water over your 6 dates in a bowl and let it sit for 5 mins to soften. Then add dates to a blender with 1/3 cup water and blend until broken down as much as you can (this should make 1/2 cup date paste)
Step 3: combine date paste with peanut butter and cashew mixture
Step 4: add date paste ontop of your chocolate layer which should be frozen. Flatten it out with a spoon or your fingers. It should be approx 1 tsp of mixture each. Pop back in the freezer for 30 mins to slightly harden
Step 5: melt another block of your dark chocolate and pour ontop. Pop back in freezer overnight or minimum 4 hrs to ensure itβs set!
