Ingredients
- 1.8 oz or 50 grams of cacao butter
- ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Cacao powder for rolling
Instructions
- Finely chop the cacao butter. Add it to a small saucepan and melt it over the lowest heat, always stirring with a spatula to prevent it from burning, be careful, cacao butter has a very low smoking point. Or you could melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. To melt it in the microwave: place cacao butter in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium power. Stir and repeat until 80 – 90 % of the butter is melted, the rest will melt as you stir. Be careful not to overheat the cacao butter, it will ruin the taste and texture.
- Combine melted cacao butter, peanut butter, almond milk, coconut nectar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Place the mixture in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours. Until completely solid.
- Once firm, remove from the fridge. Use a tablespoon to scoop out small amounts of dough, then use your hands to quickly roll the mixture into balls (don’t overdo it or it will start to melt in your hands). You should end up with 10 -12 balls. Then roll each ball in cacao powder.
- Enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for up to a month.
