Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews, salted or unsalted
- 3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon orange zest
- Pinch of salt if using unsalted cashews (optional)
- 2-3 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Add cashews, cocoa powder, orange zest, and salt (if using) to the bowl of a food processor and process in intervals for several minutes total, or until mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop periodically and scrape down sides with a spatula.
- If you like a runnier consistency, add coconut oil a teaspoon at a time and process in until creamy to your liking. Store at room temperature.
Notes
Storing at room temperature prevents the coconut oil from hardening up too much, which it would likely do if refrigerated.
Nutritional info assumes the usage of salted cashews, which affects the sodium level.
