If I didn’t create this incredible treat and taste it myself, I never in a million would have believed it was possible to make copycat Almond Joys using…cauliflower! But it is true. Really! You cannot taste it at all. Not only that, but I did it without any sugar. I think the organic riced cauliflower from Trader Joes is one of the best products out there. I use it all the time for savory dishes, but discovered its versatility a while back and now pretty much stay up late at night just figuring out crazy ways in which to use it.

- In a small blender, add cauliflower through coconut extract. Blend, then scrape the sides and blend again.
