Favorite White Chocolate Recipe

There are many days my son is tired of SCD baked items. In all honesty, after 5 years of being on this diet, baked items can lose their appeal. Usually after a break he shows interest again. In the meantime, other than ice cream requests, this loved item is one that gives the look and feel of a pre-SCD treat that he was always over the moon for.. he and every other child- CANDY! One of the hardest things about this diet is seeing your child not be able to participate in well loved food traditions. I didn’t fully realize all that candy and sweets played a role in during childhood, until it was taken away. These help fill the void as a finger food, able to be made in any size and shape. With or without filling and toppings. So here we go~

Ingredients:

1 cup melted raw cacao butter

3/4 cup raw cashew butter (I use this one)

4 to 5 tablespoons of Raw Honey

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (I use this one)

Pinch of Sea Salt

Optional Filling:

2 tablespoons of raw almond butter or non sweetened peanut butter

2 to 3 tablespoons of raw honey

Instructions:

Melt the cacao butter on low heat. Take off heat once melted and let cool while adding the cashew butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Add the melted cacao butter and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into preferred molds (we use these), add crumbled dried fruit toppings if desired, and place in the fridge to harden for around an hour. Store in freezer.

Optional filling instructions:

Mix ingredients in a small bowl. Roll about 1/2 teaspoon-sized little balls to place in the middle of the white chocolates. To do this, fill the mold 1/2 way full with the liquid cacao butter mixture (I use a spoon to fill the molds). Place the 1/2 teaspoon sized ball in the mixture and fill each candy mold the rest of the way until the mold is completely full. Place in fridge to set for around an hour and store in the freezer.

Enjoy!!
