This chocolate cashew butter can be stored in an airtight jar or container at room temperature for up to a week. For a longer shelf life, keep it in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for up to three weeks (just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using, as it may thicken when chilled).
The Panasonic MK-F800 2-in-1 Food Processor and Blender
Nut butters are pretty straightforward to make at home, but you do need a good food processor or blender.
I made this recipe using the Panasonic MK-F800 2-in-1 Food Processor and Blender which I have been road testing as part of my collaboration with Panasonic “Experience Fresh” campaign.
Thanks to its powerful motor, it got the job done in a very short period of time. The round bowl and flat blade meant that I did not have to fiddle around with scraping the cashew while the machine was working. After tipping the roasted cashews in the bowl, I just left the food processor on, finding a smooth and silky nut butter ready in just 10 mins!
