Do you like nut butters on your toast and sandwiches? Cashew butter is yummy but can be a little boring. This vegan chocolate covered strawberry cashew butter is definitely a jazzed up nut butter!

This butter is called chocolate covered strawberry because it is more strawberry than chocolate. There is a whole bag of freeze dried strawberries in this nut butter and only 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. It tastes super indulgent, but is pretty healthy. Refined sugar free, quick and easy, and you too can be ready to treat yo’ self in no time!

There is a little coconut oil added to the recipe because adding freeze dried strawberries made the cashews less creamy. So the little bit of oil adds back some good fat and makes it creamier!

This cashew butter is so dang delicious, you will immediately want to make some toast and spread it all over. Delicious with more strawberries, with bananas and chia seeds, with other jams, or just by itself!

Author: Lauren Hartmann

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 C.Cashews, roasted(salted or unsalted)
  • 1bag (1.2oz.) Freeze dried strawberries
  • 1/4 C. Cocoa powder
  • 3 Tbsp. Agave nectar
  • 3 Tbsp. Coconut oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or high powered blender, add the cashews and begin to process scraping down the sides as needed until the cashews start to become a puree.
  2. Now add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down when needed. This will take a while maybe 10 minutes or so. Just keep going until it is the texture you want.
  3. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve when ready with toast or perhaps in oatmeal? hmmmm… anyways, you can store this in an air tight container in the fridge or at room temperature.

Recipe Notes:

If you store in the fridge, it will firm up and be a bit harder to spread, but you can just let it warm up for a few minutes. Yummy!
