1tablespoonVanilla Protein Powder (sugarfree) 28 By Sam Wood
Instructions
Make the nougat layer
To prepare the nougat layer, soak the macadamia nuts and cashew in warm water for 15 minutes.
Drain and then blend the nuts and 5 of the dates in a food processor until the dates are broken down into a fine consistency.
Lay 12 small cupcake liners (or 6 bigger ones) and evenly cover each base with the nougat. (I roll them into small discs and then place them into the cupcake liner).
Place in freezer while working on step two.
Make the caramel
Combine the almond butter with the remaining dates and process until combined.
Add the vanilla extract & vanilla protein powder, a dash of the maple syrup and a pinch of salt to the food processer and pulse until smooth.
Roll into small discs and place evenly into the cupcakes on top of the nougat.
Sprinkle some crushed macadamia and peanuts on top
Add the chocolate layer and press into the caramel.
Place back in freezer while making chocolate.
Make the chocolate
Put the coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds in a bowl.
Remove and mix through the cacao powder, remaining maple syrup and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Stir until combined then carefully pour the chocolate syrup evenly onto the cupcakes.
Sprinkle any remaining crushed nuts over the top for a garnish.
Place the cupcakes in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve and.... Enjoy!
