Creativity. It’s something special, isn’t it? We all have that creative playful side, but life can definitely get in the way of it. When I am overwhelmed or stressed, I find myself craving that side of me - the side where I do what I want to do in my free time and I express myself through FOOD! I took a week out of the kitchen a few weeks ago (I am a local chef), and I found myself feeling so inspired in the kitchen again. I was really wanting to use pistachios in a recipe - and then came this! I thought that mango would be the perfect partner to pistachio, and it is indeed. These treats sound difficult to make but they truly are so easy and packed full of Sun Potion Matcha and Tocos for an energy boost and also some skin enhancing vibes!

MethodLine a muffin tin with 8 liners. In a food processor add raw cashews (soak overnight + drain) + unsalted pistachio meats (no shell) + sea salt + agave + coconut oil and pulse until a crumbly dough forms, adding a tiny bit of water if needed. Press about a tablespoon or two full into each muffin liner. Rinse food processor, and add matcha powder + lime juice + raw cashews (soaked overnight and drained) + sea salt + coconut oil + vanilla + coconut milk + cinnamon + maple syrup. Blend until smooth, adding a little more coconut milk if needed to smooth out into a thick liquid. Taste and adjust to desired sweetness. Pour over crust. Place into the freezer while you make your last layer. Rinse processor and add the meat of one fresh ripe mango + raw cashews (soaked overnight and drained) + coconut oil + coconut milk + cinnamon + vanilla + maple syrup + dash of sea salt + turmeric powder (for color) and blend to combine - adding more coconut milk if needed until you get a smooth liquid. Pour on top of your matcha layer and place your bites back into the freezer. Sprinkle the top with some Sun Potion Tocos!!! Freeze for 2+ hours to set. Store in the freezer, thawing for about 15-20 minutes when ready to eat! |
