3 Ingredient Cashew Cups
Creating a delicious snack doesn’t have to be complicated. These 3 Ingredient Cashew Cups are the easiest yet! Take cashews, dates and dark chocolate and you can whip up these little cups in minutes. Perfect for a quick energy boost or a bit of guilt-free indulgence!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- 1 cup cashews (140g)
- Pinch sea salt optional
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (75g)
Instructions
- Pit the dates and add to a food processor with the cashews. I don’t soak the dates as mine are very soft, but if yours are harder try adding a tbsp or 2 of water as you blend. Also, add a little sea salt as you blend (if you want a more salted caramel flavour).
- Roll into balls and pop into a mini cupcake tray(or cases) and press a finger or the handle of a wooden spoon into each one to create a small indent.
- Melt the dark choclate in a bowl over a pan of warm water and pour a spoonful into each one. Refrigerate to set.
Notes
- Store in the fridge to keep them nice and hard and they will last for about a week. They can be kept out the fridge if you prefer a softer texture.
- I use large, soft medjool dates for the recipe. If your dates are very hard then try soaking in boiling water for 20 minutes and draining before using.
- I have used cashews but if you would rather substitute with other nuts then this recipe is very flexible.
- If you don't have the mini cupcake tray then you can use paper cases. Alternatively, roll into ball and coat in chocolate,
