Vanilla Rose Cashew Cookie Mounds

/

The ultimate treat for nourished hormones, women’s wellness, and fertility. Spring has arrived over here on the Sunshine Coast of BC, and so has the season of no-bake dessert! So, I just had to create a raw treat to support hormonal balance, inspired by the fresh pink blooms and floral scented air. Infused with luscious vanilla, yin-enhancing rose, and aphrodisiac maca, these herbal cashew cookie mounds are both medicinal and delicious.

You won’t believe how simply these little balls come together. All you need is a food processor and handful of pantry staples. Cashews and coconut butter add a boost of healthy fats and creaminess, while pure maple syrup offers a touch of refined-sugar free sweetness. Feel free to omit the rose and / or maca if these ingredients aren’t accessible to you. The balls will be just as delicious!
