Ooh I have another delicious Valentines Day inspired recipe for you all today! If you didn’t see yesterdays brownie post make sure you check it out and don’t forget to comment to win my NuNaturals and Nourish bar giveaways this week ! I have never tried macaroons before but for some reason I woke up this morning craving them? I’m not sure where this random craving for a luscious chocolate coconut combination came from, but I followed my instincts which lead me to this delicious outcome. Needless to say I will be following my gut more often.
Chocolate Dipped Macaroons
adapted from rawmazing
Ingredients:
1 C cashews
1 C unsweetened coconut
1/4 c maple syrup
1 t vanilla
1/2 T stevia powder
3 T coconut oil, melted
1 C dark chocolate chips
1 T coconut oil
1/2 t cayenne pepper
Directions: Combine coconut and cashews in a food processor and process until ground. Add maple syrup, vanilla, stevia, and melted coconut oil pulse until well combined. Press into a small pan and freeze 3o minutes. Once firmed up pull out of the freezer and cut into shapes. (I used hearts) In a small bowl melt chocolate chips with cayenne and coconut oil until smooth. Dip one end of the macaroon in the chocolate and sprinkle with more coconut shreds. Keep refrigerated.
Cashews and coconut into your food processor. Process until combined
measure out coconut oil, stevia, maple syrup, and vanilla and add to cashew mixture.
Process until everything is well mixed
press into a small pan
and pop into the freezer for a half hour until firm.
Melt the chocolate
cut out your macaroons
dip the corner into chocolate and sprinkle with coconut.
Let the chocolate harden in the freezer for a few minutes, and dig in !
I’m sure by now you probably have an idea of what I have been craving lately haha
