Units
Scale
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour, then drained)
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut cream
- 1/4 cup pistachio butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios (for topping)
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, pistachio butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and silky.
- Spoon the mixture into silicone muffin molds or mini tart pans, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the crushed pistachios generously over the top of each bite.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- Once frozen, pop them out of the molds and let sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before serving for the perfect creamy texture.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-speed blender to achieve a silky texture.
- Store in the freezer for up to 1 month in an airtight container.
- You can substitute pistachio butter with almond butter for a twist.
