White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Butter

Growing up we had a weak spot for the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies at Subway (a place we frequented quite a bit because our parents thought it was really healthy – not so much when you’re ordering a sandwich with just meat, cheese and ranch dressing, then ordering a Root Beer and a couple of cookies). Needless to say, we still have a soft spot for anything that combines white chocolate and macadamia nuts, so this recipe is perfect to satisfy our cravings!

Pair a tablespoon of this with some greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a high protein snack, or have some with your oatmeal and fruit. One batch of this makes about 12 servings and each serving is 2 tablespoons.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Butter

Makes 12 servings

2 cups macadamia nuts
2 tbs white chocolate
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup baking stevia (we use Truvia)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

In a food processor, process nuts until they turn into a thick and creamy nut butter – this usually takes 5-10 minutes. Melt white chocolate (microwave for 30 seconds, then 10 seconds at a time stirring in between) and pour into food processor. Add all other ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Store in airtight jar in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
