Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Base
- ½ cup ground almonds
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.8 oz dairy free chocolate chips (or chopped dairy free chocolate)
Chocolate Topping
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 10.6 oz dairy free chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (solid, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough base: In a mixing bowl, combine ground almonds, coconut sugar, peanut butter, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms, then gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the cookie dough mixture into each cup, pressing and shaping it down to form even bases and sides. Place the filled muffin tin in the freezer to chill and firm up for about 15-20 minutes.
- Make the chocolate topping: Melt the dairy-free chocolate together with the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until completely smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the cookie dough cups: Remove the cookie dough cups from the freezer and spoon the melted chocolate mixture generously over each cup. Return them to the freezer for at least 10 minutes to let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the dairy-free chocolate is fully melted and smooth for a glossy topping.
- You can substitute almond flour with any finely ground nut flour if desired.
- Use solid coconut oil to help the chocolate topping set faster and give a smoother texture but it is optional.
- Store cookie dough cups in the freezer for up to 1 week for best freshness.
- These treats are perfect for vegans and those avoiding dairy products.
