Caramel Pods Recipe

How delicious do these look!? We absolutely love a good caramel filled snack 🤤

Love pods, but not a huge fan of the ingredients? We are ver excited about these home made Caramel Pods, that taste better than the original they were inspired by!

INGREDIENTS:

BASE:

• 1/2 cup of cashews
• 1/2 cup GF Traditional Oats
• 1 Tblspn cacao powder
• 2 Tblspn maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dates soaked in hot water first
• 1 Tblspn of water
• 1 Tblspn vegan butter

CARAMEL

• 1 tin of unsweetened coconut condensed milk
• 1 tsp almond butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 Tblspn coconut sugar
• 2 Tblspn date maple syrup

TOPPING

• 50 g dark chocolate (Or you can use Our Dairy Free Chocolate Chips)
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil

METHOD:

1. Pulse the base ingredients together and press into cheesecake molds OR muffin tins in a bowl-like shape. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
2. *Make sure you press the base up around the edges to form a dish to create the "pod" effect.*
3. Whilst the base is freezing, make the caramel.
4. Add the caramel ingredients to a saucepan over low-medium heat and gently stir.
5. Bring to a soft boil and cook until it thickens slightly.
6. Leave to cool for 20 minutes.
7. Spoon some of the caramel mixtures into your "pods" then freeze for at least 4 hours.
8. Melt your dark chocolate and coconut oil over medium heat before adding on top.
9. Store in the freezer and they will be pretty much ready to eat

Try not to eat them all in one go ;)
