Step-by-step
- In a food processor or in an immersion blender cup, combine all ingredients.
- Pulse and scrape down the sides of the blender until the mixture becomes soft and slightly dough like. Don't turn it into butter but get it close!
- Scoop dough onto clear plastic wrap and press into a roll.
- Refrigerate for one hour or pop in the freezer to let it firm, about 15 minutes. *You could form these into balls and eat immediately, too*
- Slice into ½ inch rounds. Garnish with extra coconut.
How do you turn three basic pantry items into a cohesive snack without turning on the oven? Processing nuts requires patience to release natural oils without overheating the motor. Pulse the cashews and shredded coconut in short bursts, scraping the bowl frequently until the oils bind the mixture into a moldable paste. Keep a spatula handy to redistribute unground chunks near the blade.
Thoughtful Pairings
Serving dense, nut-based sweets benefits from sharp contrasts. Pour robust black coffee or unsweetened iced green tea alongside each round to cut through the rich fat content. Alternatively, pair these cookies with tart fresh raspberries or sliced green apples to balance the concentrated sweetness of the cashew and coconut profile.Storage and Make-Ahead Mechanics
Rolling the dough into a cylindrical log wrapped tightly in plastic film yields uniform slices after chilling. Store the finished rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Freezing extends their lifespan significantly; individual slices freeze well for up to one month when layered between sheets of parchment paper. Thaw frozen portions at room temperature for ten minutes before serving.
