Prep Time 10 min
Ingredients
- 120g | 4.3oz raw cacao butter, roughly chopped
- 2 – 3 Tbsp raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup raw macadamia nuts
- 1 tsp matcha green tea powder
- 2 Tbsp genmaicha
Instructions
- Add the cacao butter, honey, vanilla and salt to a saucepan over very low heat and allow to melt completely. Remove from heat and set aside a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Food processor method – Add the macadamia nuts to a food processor and blend a few minutes until they are completely smooth. You will need to stop every so often to scrape down the sides. Add the cacao butter liquid and matcha and mix until combined.
- Blender method – Add the nuts, matcha and cacao butter mixture to a high-powered blender and mix on high until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mix onto a lined cookie sheet and use a spatular to spread out to your desired thickness (usually around 0.5 – 1cm | 0.2 – 0.4in). Sprinkle with the genmaicha and place in the freezer to set.
- Once set, break into bite-sized pieces. Store in the fridge up to two weeks.
Notes
- A few notes about substitutions – you could use cashews in place of macadamias here and other sweeteners in place of the raw honey (eg maple syrup) though this will change the colour and flavour slightly.
- Cacao butter is the star ingredient here and can be bought from health food stores, or some larger supermarkets.
