Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 2 drops almond extract
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 4 drops vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp maca powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp miso paste
  • 4 soft units Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 cup cacao butter, melted
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup almond milk

Equipment

  • High-speed blender or food processor
  • Log-shaped silicone mold or small baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Small saucepan or bowl for double boiler
  • Wire rack and tray for coating

Method
 

  1. Make the praline-chocolate insert by blending all insert ingredients until smooth, then pour into a log mold and freeze for about 2 hours.
  2. Clean the blender and blend the cream filling ingredients until creamy, then encase the frozen insert with this cream and freeze again.
  3. Blend the nuts with espresso and agave to form a textured dough, then press onto the sides and bottom of the cream layer and freeze overnight.
  4. Melt cacao paste and cacao butter for the coating, mix in agave, let cool slightly, and then pour over the frozen log. Freeze again for about 30 minutes to set.

Notes

For optimal results, ensure that each layer is fully frozen before adding the next. You can substitute ingredients based on preference; for example, use maple syrup instead of agave. Once assembled, the bûche can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before slicing for clean cuts. Have fun with decorations or variations like adding mint or citrus zest for a unique twist!
