Equipment

Ingredients

2 cup cherries, frozen and thawed I use organic frozen.
½ cup cashew butter or any nut butter
⅔ cup cocoa powder I use this cacao powder

Optional

½ cup chocolate chips
3 tablespoon maple syrup
3-4 fresh cherries, pitted and slice for topping

Instructions

Line loaf pan with parchment paper. Measure out frozen cherries and let them thaw about 10 minutes.
Blend thawed frozen cherries, nut butter and cocoa powder. Add 1-2 tablespoon of water if needed to blend.
2 cup cherries, frozen and thawed, ½ cup cashew butter, ⅔ cup cocoa powder, 3 tablespoon maple syrup
Taste your mixture. The sweetness will depend on the sweetness of your cherries so add maple syrup if needed.
Spoon into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Level the top. Optional, press halves of frozen cherries into the batter.
½ cup chocolate chips
Dot the top with halves of frozen or fresh cherries, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Chill for 60 minutes or longer to slice into 8 slices.

Notes

Store frozen in individual packages, and thaw for 5 minutes before eating.

Taste-test blended mixture for sweetness and depending on the sweetness of your cherries, you might have to add 1-3 tablespoon of maple syrup. If it gets too liquidy, add another tablespoon of cocoa.

If you use fresh cherries, be sure to rinse them in vinegar, and if they are not organic please soak for 10 minutes in baking soda, then pit them. Blot them dry and slice in half to assist blender.
