Recipe


Ingredients

  • Chocolate Filling
  • 80g good-quality chocolate, broken into pieces
  • ⅓ cup coconut cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • Pinch sea salt

  • Coconut Biscuits
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 110g coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • ⅓ cup almond butter
  • 1½ tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Method


  • To make chocolate filling, melt chocolate in small saucepan over low heat then stir in remaining ingredients. Let stand for 1–2 mins, then stir and set aside to cool until thickened.
  • Preheat oven to 175°C and line baking tray with baking paper.
  • In medium bowl, mix almond meal, coconut flour, bicarb soda and salt.
  • In large bowl, beat coconut oil and coconut sugar for 1 min. Stir in almond butter, vanilla powder and egg until mixed. Fold almond meal mixture into egg mixture, then refrigerate for 30 mins.
  • Roll dough into 16–20 balls, place on prepared baking tray with at least 2.5cm between them and press each down with spatula.
  • Bake for 12–15 mins until golden, then cool completely on baking tray. They’ll be soft in the middle but will harden as they cool.
  • Once cool, spread 1 tbsp of filling on half of biscuits. Place second biscuit on top, then leave for 1–2 mins for chocolate to set.
  • Store in airtight container in fridge for 4–5 days.
