Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried pineapple chunks, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Roughly chop the dried pineapple chunks and have all ingredients ready and within reach to streamline the process.
  2. Blend Nuts and Coconut: In a food processor, pulse the cashews and shredded coconut until they reach a coarse, crumbly texture for added bite and texture, avoiding creating a flour-like consistency.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the nut and coconut mixture to a mixing bowl. Add chopped pineapple, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until evenly coated and sticky enough to hold together.
  4. Form the Bites: Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or squares. Press firmly to ensure they hold their shape without crumbling.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the shaped bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and intensify flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh dried fruit that isn’t overly dry or sticky for better texture and handling.
  • Do not overprocess the nuts and coconut to maintain a desirable crunchy texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by starting with less honey or maple syrup and adding more to taste.
  • Press the bites firmly before chilling to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bites in airtight containers to keep them fresh longer and avoid moisture exposure.
