Plant Based “Milk” Chocolate Macadamia Nut Milk

Do you like your nut milks creamy?

This is a dairy free “milk” chocolate beverage made with macadamia nuts, which are one of my favorites to make nut milk with, because they make a very creamy drink, and you don’t have to strain it. The macadamia nuts are soft and higher in fat, so you get to skip that step.

This recipe makes a little over two cups, which is the perfect size to use up in a couple days, and it takes just ten minutes hands on to make. Love that about it!

So let’s get you some creamy, chocolate nut milk!

Plant Based “Milk” Chocolate Macadamia Nut Milk

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup of Raw Macadamia Nuts (I like this g/f brand)

2 Tablespoons of Raw Cacao Powder

1 Teaspoon of Real Vanilla Extract

1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Monk Fruit

1/8 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

2 Cups of Filtered Water

Directions: Measure 1/2 Cup of macadamia nuts into a 4 cup measure and cover with water to soak for two hours. Walk away, no work to be done here but wait! 🙂

After the macadamia nuts have soaked, strain them through a colander and rinse with cold water. Then, add the macadamia nuts to a high speed blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend on high speed for three minutes.

Pour straight into a quart jar add the lid and refrigerate.

Easy peasy milk chocolate that is sweet and delicious!

These nut and fruit snacks are really versatile and handy to have in your freezer.

I have been snacking on them for a while now and have also made several versions.

So, I am going to give you the template, and you personalize them!

You can make a double batch all at once. This recipe easily does that, or make a couple different variations. I find kids really like the ones with peanut butter and raisins.

Freezer Nut and Fruit Bites

1 Cup of Nuts of choice

1/4 Cup of Dried Fruit of Choice (if you are using larger dried fruit, make sure to dice it first)

1/4 Cup of Nut or Seed Butter

1 Tablespoon of Collagen (I use this brand)

1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract

1/8 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/8 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

1/8 Teaspoon of Pure Monk Fruit (optional but adds a little more sweetness)

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse your nuts and fruit until chopped evenly. Then, add the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it.

Pour the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, and form it into a rectangle about an inch thick. Place the rectangle of bites onto a cookie sheet with the parchment, still in one piece, and freeze for an hour. Remove it from the freezer, and with a large sharp knife, cut it into squares.

Nut Bites 2

Store the Nut and Fruit Bites in a sealed container in your freezer for as needed. Pop them in when you want a quick and healthy snack.

That’s it. Super easy and you will want to make them again and again.

I’ve made these with walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia and a large variety of different nut and seed butters including tahini. Make them nut free by using sunflower seed butter or tahini and sunflower or pumpkin seeds in place of the nuts.
