Macadamia nuts are exceptionally flavorful so that they will make an excellent addition to your pantry. They grow in sub-tropical regions of Australia, America, and the Hawaiian Islands. Only two of the seven known species of the nuts are edible. Their taste and high nutritious value make them into an excellent snack. However, they also go well when added to sweets and desserts.

Gluten-sensitive people can eat macadamia butter with no worries as it’s gluten-free and perfectly safe. It also makes any sandwich taste incredibly good.

As macadamia nuts are nuts, they are good for your health by default. Even though they are rich in calories, they contain healthy fats and can be added to any diet.

Recipes

Herbed Macadamia Nut Cheese

Ingredients

2-3 digestive enzyme capsules
1 1/2 cups raw macadamia nuts (soaked overnight and rinsed)
4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Pink Himalayan rock salt
Ground black pepper
Chili flakes
Mixed herbs
Fresh herbs (of your choice, I added a bit of fresh basil and fresh rosemary), finely chopped
Plastic cling wrap (for molding)

Preparation

First you’ll want to soak your macadamia nuts overnight. Rinse them thoroughly the next day.
In a high-speed food processor, blitz the nuts until they are the texture in the photo below. Imagine crumbled feta cheese. You want them that kind of texture. Place the mixture into a glass or ceramic bowl, and crack open the digestive enzyme tablets over it. Mix thoroughly, and leave covered with a dish towel in a medium temperature room. Not cold, but not too warm. Leave overnight.
Now it’s time to flavor your “cheese.” Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, and you really can pick and choose what you like. If you are not much of a fan of chilli flakes, leave them out and add something else. I like the little spurts of heat they give. You can add all different types of herbs, and can even separate the plain mixture, and make different variations of flavor. This recipe is versatile, so you add what suits you.
Once mixed you want to lay the mixture out onto the center of the cling wrap. Carefully fold the mixture into a sausage, ensuring it is tightly compacted. Twist each side until you create a tight, firm “cheese” sausage shape.
Allow this to cool in the fridge for about and hour or two.
Cut into slices and serve with gluten-free crackers.

Enjoy it!

Raw Macadamia Nut Fudge Squares

Ingredients:

1 cup raw macadamia nuts , or ½ cup macadamia nut butter
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw honey/ maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

Toss the raw macadamia nuts into a high-powered blender or food processor, and grind into a nut butter consistency.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and process again until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the batter to a plate lined with parchment paper, and smooth with a spatula.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour, or until firm.
Slice off the edges, then cut into bite-sized squares and serve immediately! These squares will melt quickly at room temperature, so it’s best to serve them directly from the freezer.

Enjoy!
