Course: Dessert
Author: Rosemary Gladstar
Ingredients
½cupCoconut butter(This is different from Coconut oil. You can purchase Coconut butter or make it yourself from grated Coconut.)
¼cupCoconut oil
1tspVanilla extract or paste
3tbspHoney, Maple syrup, Date sugar, or combinations of these sweeteners
⅔cupCacao powder
1tspCinnamon powder or other spice blend
8tspHerbal powders of choice, finely powdered(I used a combination of Ashwagandha, Reishi, and Mucuna for a grounding, calming but uplifting blend. You can also use a combination of medicinal Mushrooms.)
Instructions
Blend Coconut butter and oil together until mixed well. You may have to warm Coconut butter to soften enough to mix.
Add Vanilla, spices, and sweetener and stir well.
Mix in herbal powders. Stir well to be sure there are no lumps and herbs are evenly distributed.
Add enough powdered Cacao to thicken.
Roll into balls or press onto molds. For a finishing touch, roll in finely ground Coconut, Cacao, and or finely chopped nuts.
Notes
The amount of herbal powder you add depends on the size of your balls. The average dose would be 1/2 teaspoon of herbal powder per ball. You can calculate the amount of herbal formula to add by estimating the number of balls x 1/2 teaspoon of herbal formula per ball. For instance if you are rolling 15 medium size balls, you would mix in 7-8 teaspoons of herbal formula. If you are rolling 25 small balls, you would mix in 12 teaspoons of herbal formula.
