Ārepa and Cacao Raw Macaroons Recipe

Ingredients

2 ½  cups desiccated coconut

1 ½ cups cacao powder 

13g cacao butter

140ml Agave syrup

1 ½ tbs Arepa the brain drink powder

Pinch of Celtic Sea salt (optional)

Method 

Create a bain-marie by placing a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water, ensuring that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Add the cacao butter to the glass bowl and stir often, allowing it to melt slowly.

In a food processor or large bowl, combine the coconut, cacao powder, Ārepa powder, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt, if using. Once the cacao butter has melted, add it to the other ingredients. If you're using a food processor, pulse on a low to medium setting until the mixture is well combined. If mixing by hand, stir thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Roll tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture into macaroons or use a trigger scoop for a mess-free experience. Place the macaroons into a container and refrigerate, or for an extra crunch, dehydrate them on sheets at 35℃ for 5-7 hours, until they’re crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.

Finally, store the macaroons in an airtight container in the pantry, where they'll stay fresh for up to one month.

Makes approximately 20 Ārepa + Cacao Raw Macaroons.

Recipe Notes:

Raw macaroons are great to have on hand if you're dehydrating them its great to make a double batch as they keep perfectly for up to a month.
