What You Need​

  • 1 cup of creamy cashews
  • 1/2 cup of juicy pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 cup of shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Chopped fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make​

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashews, pineapple chunks, and shredded coconut.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm up the honey until it's smooth and runny.
  3. Remove the honey from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the honey mixture over the cashew mixture and toss until everything is well-coated.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top and toss again to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Once the mixture has chilled, use your hands or a cookie scoop to form it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  8. Place the cashew treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and garnish with chopped fresh mint leaves if desired.
  9. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the coconut flakes, then serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations​

  • To add an extra burst of tropical flavor, try substituting the pineapple chunks with diced mango or papaya.
  • If you prefer a creamier treat, simply blend some additional cashews into the honey mixture before pouring it over the cashew mixture.
  • For a crunchy twist, sprinkle some chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans) over the top of the treats before refrigerating them.
