Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Almond Base
  • 1 cup almond flour Ensure it’s finely ground for best texture
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted Or canola oil for a neutral flavor
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup For natural sweetness
For the Caramel Filling
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted They should be soft and fresh
  • 1/4 cup almond butter Or any nut butter of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch sea salt
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips Look for 70% cacao or higher for health benefits
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil To help with melting and shine

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix well until a crumbly dough forms.
  2. Line a muffin tin with silicone cups or paper liners. Press the almond mixture evenly into the bottom of each cup, creating a firm base. Place it in the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a food processor, combine pitted Medjool dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add water until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator. Spoon the caramel mixture evenly over the almond base in each cup, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon. Return to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
  5. While the caramel sets, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  6. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the chilled caramel layer in each cup, ensuring an even coating. Tap the muffin tin gently on the countertop to eliminate air bubbles.
  7. Refrigerate the cups for a final 30 minutes to set completely. Once firm, remove from the molds and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. If your caramel is too sticky, adding a splash of water can help achieve a smoother consistency.
