🛒 Ingredients & 🔪 Prep
What You’ll Need (The Essentials):
The Creamy Base:
1 cup Cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour) 🥜
1/4 cup Coconut Butter (not oil, for a thicker texture) 🥥
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Agave 🍯
The Zesty Flavor:
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice 🍋
1 Tbsp Lemon Zest (finely grated) ✨
1 tsp Vanilla Extract 🍦
A tiny pinch of Turmeric (for that bright yellow color!) 💛
The Coating:
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (or cornstarch/arrowroot for a less sweet finish) 🍚
Getting Ready (Quick Prep):
Soak the cashews: This is the secret to that incredibly smooth, custard-like interior seen in the photos.
Zest the lemon: Do this before juicing for the best results! 🍋
Prepare a tray: Line a small tray with parchment paper. 📜
🥣 Mixing & 🧊 Chilling
Step 1: Blend to Perfection 🌪️
Drain and rinse your soaked cashews 🥜.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cashews, coconut butter 🥥, maple syrup 🍯, lemon juice 🍋, zest, vanilla 🍦, and that pinch of turmeric 💛.
Process until the mixture is completely smooth and looks like a thick, yellow custard.Lemons
Step 2: Thickening the “Dough” 🥄
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over low heat.
Whisk constantly for 3-5 minutes. You will see the mixture begin to thicken and pull away from the sides, becoming a workable paste.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: The Cold Set ❄️
Spread the mixture onto your prepared tray and cover it with plastic wrap (touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming).
Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to roll into balls. ⏳
