Ingredients
2 cups – raw cashew nuts
3 tablespoons – cocoa Powder (add according to taste)
3 tablespoons – extra virgin coconut oil
3-4 tablespoons – sugar (add according to taste)
Method
1. In a food processor, grind the cashew nuts to a powder.
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste.
3. As the food processor gets over heat, stop periodically and scrape the sides.
4. Transfer to a dry container and keep it refrigerated
Note
• The butter can be stored up to a month in the fridge.
• This can be enjoyed in many ways.
