Drain cashews and place them, along with the cacao powder and maple syrup, in a food processor or blender.
Blend mixture for about 2-3 minutes. Stop and scrape the sides and bottom of processor or blender and mix again for another 2 minutes.
Spoon in a serving dish/bowl and serve immediately. This can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Soaking the cashews is an important step that helps produce a super smooth and creamy cashew butter. I recommend soaking the full 24 hours, but 12 hours will work as well.
To reap the nutritional benefits of cacao powder, use an organic one with no added flavors or sweetening agent, like this one
