Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips to add texture and chocolate bursts.
- Shape the Dough: Line a cutting board or large plate with parchment paper. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment and use a silicone spatula or clean hands to press and flatten it evenly to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside for the next step.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Assemble the Bark: Evenly pour and spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough base. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance flavor and add a subtle crunch.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up and the bark to set properly.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the freezer and chop into large chunks. Enjoy this healthy, no-bake cookie dough bark as a delightful treat!
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the bark for cutting.
- Cashew butter can be substituted with peanut butter for a slightly different flavor.
- Chilling in the freezer ensures the bark sets quickly; alternatively, refrigerate longer if preferred.
- Optionally, add nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough for extra texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
