Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Cup Dough
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 5 Medjool Dates, pitted
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp sunflower seed butter (unsweetened)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp sunflower seed butter
Instructions
- Make the Cookie Cup Dough: Combine the almonds, shredded coconut, pitted Medjool dates, salt, 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Blend until the mixture starts to clump together, which may take some time, ensuring the dough holds its shape when pressed.
- Shape the Cookie Cups: Using a mini silicone muffin pan, scoop one tablespoon of the prepared dough per slot. Use your fingers to gently press and shape the dough into a small cup form.
- Make the Caramel: Melt the dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of sunflower seed butter together in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully combined to create the caramel topping.
- Fill the Cookie Cups with Caramel: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prepared caramel mixture into the center of each cookie cup, filling the cavities.
- Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate and sunflower seed butter mixture over the caramel layer so that it is flush with the top of the cookie base to fully cover the caramel.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set completely before serving.
Notes
- Use a mini silicone muffin pan for easy removal of the cookie cups without breaking.
- Ensure the dates are soft and fresh to help the dough clump properly.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to taste.
- Store the cookie cups in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almonds with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
