General info

Inside Out Nkuto Cookies - our Foodie Recipe

My Motivation

Where do I start? This is a long one 😅 My mum... my first Nkuto (Shea Butter) bake was made by her, with her willingness to experiment with what most wouldn’t bake with. She made me realise the delightful shortening Shea Butter could produce. 😘😘👩‍👧, the Ghana Food Network asked the world on Instagram what we use Nkuto for and reminded me I could actually do this again. @vanessa who recently dashed me massive amounts of genuine Nkuto from the Northern parts of Ghana. All this with my craving for a homemade bake, my desire to experiment once again, and my curiosity for pushing machines to give me more than what they’re traditionally known for 😏

My Hack

All that lovely milk which masked the strength of the Nkuto like no other, and in combination with it gave me the taste that could fight with a delicious shortbread any day! 🤩 If Nkuto does not remind you of silky tastes, then try a good Milk-Shea-Butter combo, it may just click 😃

My Challenge

Dealing with a small turn table. I’ll probably half the portions next time 😅

My Excitement

I feel like I made shortbread!!! I won’t tell a lie! And to my surprise (I must be completely honest), the taste and texture this recipe gave me makes me realise one thing... I shouldn’t be making these often if I want to fit in my clothes. Delish! And the crunch within... I knew microwaves cooked from within but to produce this magical combination is an experience I’m happy I’ve had. Speaking of which, it was quicker to make with the microwave - enough motivation for me to try more microwave bakes in the future 😍
