Instructions:

1. Start by soaking the cashews in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them up.
2. While the cashews are soaking, in a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of hot water. This will form our cafe essence.
3. After the cashews have soaked, drain and rinse them. Pop them into a blender or food processor.
4. To the blender, add coconut oil, honey, the cafe essence you made, vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
5. Blitz everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
6. Take out the creamy mixture and shape it into small balls using your hands.
7. Roll each truffle ball in unsweetened shredded coconut. This will give it an extra texture and a delightful look.
8. For those who love a hint of chocolate, dust each truffle with cocoa powder. It’s a game changer!
9. Place your Cafe Cream Protein Truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper.
10. Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Tips:

1. Use room temperature coconut oil for easier blending.
2. Customize the protein flavor! While vanilla works wonders, feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors.
3. If your mixture is too dry, consider adding a splash of almond milk or any other dairy-free alternative.
4. To store, keep the Cafe Cream Protein Truffles in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to a week.
