Healthy Caramelized White Chocolate Bonbons
These Caramelized White Chocolate Bonbons are a blank slate for your dessert fantasies. The cashews and the cacao butter work as a neutral, creamy base allowing the vanilla to shine through.
Ingredients
Caramelized White Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/3 heaping cup cacao butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1-2 tablespoons rice syrup, maple syrup, or another sweetener of choice
- 1/4 teaspoon maca powder (optional)
- pinch of salt
Optional Topping Ideas:
- dehydrated strawberries or raspberries
- matcha powder
- ground cardamom
- sumac and salted almonds
- saffron and orange zest
- lavender and lemon zest
- roasted hazelnuts
- mulberries
- ground cinnamon
- cacao nibs and chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by melting the cacao butter in a microwave-safe bowl at high in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until it’s melted. You can also do this in a pan on a stovetop. Once melted, mix in the cashew butter. Once fully incorporated add the vanilla, sweetener of choice, maca powder, and salt.
- Pour the chocolate into a chocolate mold or an ice cube tray and add whichever toppings you fancy!
- Transfer mold or tray into the freezer and allow to set – you can also let them set in the fridge but they’ll be slightly more fudge-y.
Notes
- I recommend storing these chocolates in the freezer to get the same bite as you would with normal white chocolate, but if you don’t mind it being more fudge-like then feel free to keep them in your refrigerator!
- You can go crazy with the toppings or leave them as is (just as lovely), this chocolate can also be used as a drizzle when still warm/room temperature, or for incorporating into no-bake recipes where you would otherwise use white chocolate.
- Use this Healthy Caramelized White Chocolate recipe for these Golden Eggs or instead of dark chocolate in these Whipped Coconut Cream Truffles.
