Milk & Cookies By Chef Kenworthy
Ingredients
- 2 cups soaked and blanched almonds
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 1/8 cup cacao nibs
- 2 Tbs Raw Honey
- 1 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1 Tbs Maca powder
- 1 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 Tbs Coconut oil
Directions
Almond Milk
Soak Almonds overnight. If the almonds have not been peeled, pinch them to remove the skin. Place Soaked almonds into a high speed blender with purified water. Fill the blender with water, if you would like a thicker almond milk add less water. Once the almonds have been thoroughly blended pour through a cheese cloth into a big bowl or pitchers. Remove as much of the liquid as possible and put the almond pulp aside for the truffles. You will now have plain almond milk. If you would like to sweeten it you may add honey or maple syrup. also cinnamon goes great in it but use sparingly.
Almond Truffles
Once you have the pulp put back into the blender or food processor. Next you will add all the other ingredients, goji berries, cacao nibs, raw honey, cardamom powder, maca powder, pink himalayan salt, cinnamon, coconut oil. Blend well. Once it is finished you will have truffles that feel like cookie dough. Make them into the shape that you would like them to be in. Place on wax paper on a cookie sheet or plate. Place in freezer for 30 mins to let set. I recommend leaving them in the freezer in a freezer bag to keep them the freshest.
