Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams raw cashews
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 grams butter
- 50 grams granular erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, keto-friendly)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the cashews evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the cashews from the oven and let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the shredded coconut and toast it for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Stir in the erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the toasted coconut and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing everything to combine thoroughly.
Add the chopped roasted cashews into the pan with the coconut mixture, stirring to coat the cashews evenly.
Line a mini muffin tin or use a silicone mold. Spoon the mixture evenly into the mold, pressing down slightly to compact each cluster.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over each cashew cluster to coat the top.
Refrigerate the clusters for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove the clusters from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your keto-friendly snack!
