Soak the mango in cool water for 20-30 minutes, and soak the cashews for 4 hours (leave a handful of nuts dry, as we will need them for coating). After that, drain the water, squeeze the mango, and send it to the blender. Add the vanilla seeds, lime zest, honey, and turmeric. Blend everything until smooth.

Now you can shape candies from the obtained mass. For this, chop a handful of dry cashews (you can do this in advance) and sprinkle it on a board or any other flat surface. Take a small amount of the candy mixture with a spoon and carefully roll it into a ball, coating it in nuts. The candies are very easy and quick to make.
