Beegan Cream Candy
Submitted by gordienali on August 9, 2008 - 8:54am
My kids love bee pollen- the love to just nibble on it straight. I wanted to make something unique for them that didn’t make such a mess from them dropping it all over the house. So I made them these cream cadies that they get on special occassions. They are very sweet and rich- so you don’t need very much to satisfy you.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon bee pollen
1 teaspoon lucuma powder
1 tablespoon raw honey, add to get desired consistency
2 tablespoon artisana coconut butter
Preparation:
First- add the lucuma powder to the bee pollen and stir well until the are well mixed together. Next, knead the coconut butter into the mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture. Then, add honey until the texture starts to ball up- kneading well to make a solid ball.
Then, roll small portions into small little balls. I like to use my melon baller to do this. Then store the balls in the fridge.
I have also made a white chocolate coating to them for something extra special! Gently melt some cacao butter and add a little agave to taste (not sure on the exact amounts as I have just eyeballed the amounts). Dip your refrigerated balls into the melted butter and return to fridge. Dip 2- 3X time to get your desired coating on the balls!
ENJOY! :)

My seven year old made this herself and loved it. I snagged her taking a giant handful out of the fridge and made her put half of it back.

after about two big sized bites- it's kind of gaggy sweet for me- but my kids will hoover it until they get sick if I'd let them!!!

Wow! Thanks! I've been wanting to find a way that my son will want to eat bee pollen, and for him, the sweeter and richer, the better he likes it! :)
