The naturally creamy texture of cashew butter makes it an ideal base for desserts — especially when you want something sweet with little or no added sugar.

1. "Hot chocolate" sauce. Warm up GULIANI Cashew Butter with Coconut with a splash of milk to get a thick, creamy sauce for fruit or ice cream.

2. Dipped fruit. Apple or banana slices dipped in cashew butter and sprinkled with crushed nuts make a simple, quick dessert kids enjoy too.

3. No-bake dessert bites. Cashew butter, coconut flakes and a little honey mixed together, rolled into balls and chilled in the fridge — a healthier alternative to candy.

4. In a yogurt bowl. A spoonful of cashew butter over plain yogurt and berries makes a simple dessert or breakfast.

5. On waffles or pancakes. Slightly warmed cashew butter drizzled over hot waffles creates a dessert-like texture with minimal extra ingredients.
