These Vegan Macadamia Cherry Clusters are vegan and gluten free.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups dairy free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- ¾ cup salted macadamia nuts (more if needed)
- ¾ cup dried unsweetened cherries (more if needed)
- For white chocolate drizzle (optional):
- ¼ cup melted raw cocoa butter
- 1 teaspoon stevia powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions:
- Fill a deep skillet with water until it is half full and place on the stove over medium high heat. Bring water to a boil and place a glass bowl on top of the skillet. Add chocolate chips and vegan butter into the bowl and stir with a spatula until melted. Remove the bowl from the skillet and transfer to the counter.
- Mix in macadamia nuts and cherries and stir until the nuts and cherries are evenly coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and using a tablespoon, scoop the chocolate mixture on the baking sheet. Let the clusters set at room temperature or transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to set quicker.
- Once the clusters are set, melt the white chocolate drizzle by placing the cocoa butter in a microwave safe bowl. Place in the microwave for 40 seconds or until melted. Remove from microwave and mix in stevia, vanilla and cornstarch until smooth. Using a spoon or a pastry brush, drizzle the white chocolate on the clusters and let it set for about 10 minutes. Enjoy when ready.
