No-Bake Chocolate-Dipped Almond Macaroons

  • 2       cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2       tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼     cup extra-virgin coconut oil
  • ¼     cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1       tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛     tsp sea salt

Chocolate coating

  • 10     oz unsweetened organic chocolate
  • 1       tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil
  • ½     cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • ½     tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓     cup toasted almonds slices

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut flour, and salt. Add the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla and combine well. Place the coconut mixture in the freezer and allow to firm for 5 minutes.
  2. Place a double boiler on the stove. Melt the chocolate together with the coconut oil, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the honey and vanilla.
  3. Add parchment paper to a baking sheet. Roll 1 tablespoon of the macaroon mixture into a ball and dip half into the dark chocolate mixture. Place on the parchment paper. Once all the macaroons are coated, drizzle chocolate over each. Add a few sliced almonds over each macaroon. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 45 minutes to set. Store covered in the refrigerator.

Chocolate Truffles

  • 2       cups blanched almonds
  • ¼     cup cocoa powder
  • ¼     tsp sea salt
  • 12     Medjool dates, soaked for 15 minutes in warm water
  • 4–6    tbsp unsweetened coconut cream

Coating

  • ¼     cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼     cup ground almonds
  • ¼     cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Process almonds, cocoa powder, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender until finely ground. Add the dates and pulse until combined. Add the coconut cream and pulse until the mixture starts to form a thick batter.
  2. Using a small cookie scoop, drop the truffle mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and roll into round balls.
  3. Divide rolled truffles into thirds and roll one batch in cocoa powder, one batch in shredded coconut, and the other batch in ground almonds. Store the truffles in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve at room temperature.
