No-Bake Cashew and Chocolate Treats (Sugar-Free, No Flour)

No-Bake Cashew and Chocolate Treats (Sugar-Free, No Flour)

Ingredients:

• 90g cashews (about 1/2 cup)
• 10 dates
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free apple syrup
• 70g sugar-free dark chocolate (about 1/2 cup)
• 1.5 tablespoons oat milk

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Dates:

• Start by soaking 10 dates in cold water for about 15 minutes. This will soften the dates and make them easier to blend.
• Once softened, remove the pits from the dates and discard them.

2. Make the Cashew-Date Mixture:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked dates, 90g of cashews, and 2 tablespoons of sugar-free apple syrup.
• Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, sticky dough-like texture. This mixture will be the base of your treats.

3. Shape the Mixture:

• Take out an ice cube tray or a silicone mold with round cavities.
• Press the cashew-date mixture into each cavity, filling it about 3/4 full. Make a small indentation in the middle of each portion, which will hold the chocolate filling.
• Place the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up the mixture slightly.

4. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

• While the cashew-date mixture is firming up, melt 70g of sugar-free dark chocolate using a double boiler (or place a heatproof bowl over simmering water).
• Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1.5 tablespoons of oat milk. Mix until the chocolate becomes smooth and glossy, ensuring it is evenly combined.
