Macadamia nuts are a specialty item absent from most Charlotte supermarkets—you will need a trip to Harris Teeter's specialty section or a natural-foods store like Whole Foods to find them at $14–18 per pound, a real cost for a six-serving dish. The five-minute claim is honest if you have a high-powered blender, but the technique demands the nuts be ground to a perfectly smooth, creamy consistency, which may take longer on standard equipment and requires close attention to avoid overheating. This works as a dairy-free spread or component dish for someone already comfortable with alternative ingredients, but the ingredient hunt and per-serving cost ($2–3 for nuts alone) makes it a deliberate choice rather than a weeknight staple. It will not reheat—best served fresh the day it is made.
