🛒 Ingredients & 🔪 Prep

What You’ll Need (The Essentials):

• The Creamy Base:

  • 1 cup Cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour) 🥜

  • 1/4 cup Coconut Butter (not oil, for a thicker texture) 🥥

  • 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Agave 🍯

• The Zesty Flavor:

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice 🍋

  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Zest (finely grated) ✨

  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 🍦

  • A tiny pinch of Turmeric (for that bright yellow color!) 💛

• The Coating:

  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (or cornstarch/arrowroot for a less sweet finish) 🍚

Getting Ready (Quick Prep):

1. Soak the cashews: This is the secret to that incredibly smooth, custard-like interior seen in the photos.

2. Zest the lemon: Do this before juicing for the best results! 🍋

3. Prepare a tray: Line a small tray with parchment paper. 📜

🥣 Mixing & 🧊 Chilling

Step 1: Blend to Perfection 🌪️

1. Drain and rinse your soaked cashews 🥜.

2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cashews, coconut butter 🥥, maple syrup 🍯, lemon juice 🍋, zest, vanilla 🍦, and that pinch of turmeric 💛.

3. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and looks like a thick, yellow custard.

Step 2: Thickening the “Dough” 🥄

1. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over low heat.

2. Whisk constantly for 3-5 minutes. You will see the mixture begin to thicken and pull away from the sides, becoming a workable paste.

3. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
