This is a super easy recipe to make and will suit those who are dairy and grain free. The main ingredient is one of my favourite foods – the macadamia nut! It was inspired by this recipe here. 
You need a food processor to make these biscuits and while very easy to make, it does take a little time to process the macadamias so the oil is released. 
Check regularly with your hands to get a feel for how moist the mixture is becoming as it can be deceiving. 
To mould the biscuits I used silicone muffin cases. 
And they pop out easily once they have set in the fridge. 
These no bake macadamia nut biscuits go delightfully with a cup of tea in the afternoon. 
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ⅛ tsp Himalayan pink salt
- Add all the ingredients to the food processor.
- Pulse for a couple of minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Continue this process until the mixture is very soft and the oils have secreted from the macadamias. It will look like breadcrumbs but use your hands and squeeze together a chunk of the mixture to test if it is ready.
- I used silicone muffin pans to make the biscuits. Scoop out a large tablespoon of mixture into each muffin pan - it will make around 10.
- Pat down very firmly with the back of the spoon.
- Place in the fridge for an hour.
- Gently pop out of the silicone case and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container and these are best kept in the fridge before serving.
