I made some awesome coconut macaroons today with a little experimentation. I’m going to approximate the measurements because as is my usual method of UNcooking, I tend to add things without measuring. Oh well.
They were so fun to make and smell sooo good! Here’s the recipe:
Raw Coconut Macaroons
2 cups cashews (I didn’t soak)
10 dates - soaked 15 to 30 minutes - reserve 2-3 tbsp soak water
1-1/2 cups coconut flakes
2 tbsp lucuma powder (optional)
pinch of sea salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp agave nectar
Grind cashews until they have a mealy texture. Place cashews in a bowl.
Process soaked dates until they form a paste. Add to the cashews and mix.
Add the rest of the ingredients including the date soak water, 1 tbsp at a time until the dough sticks together.
Form into flattened tablespoon-sized balls (or whatever shape you like!) and dehydrate until firm yet still moist on the inside.
Enjoy!
