I was craving a treat one day, but not just any treat.
It had to be something to keep me from getting into trouble in the grocery store. I hate to say it but all to often I end up shopping when I am hungry, it’s just how it works out sometimes. Well, let’s face it, if I know I have an incredible, earth shaking, over the top delicious standby at home, I won’t fall into the “temptation trap” out there in that cruel world 🙂 So……………. I decided to put my “creating hat” on and run to the kitchen, and WALAAA! The No Bake Coconut Turtle Delights were born!
No Bake Coconut Turtle Delights
Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour ( I used blanched )
1 and 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded organic coconut
pinch of Real Salt
4 tsp. organic vanilla
1/4 cup coconut oil ( melted )
1 Tablespoon honey
2 droppers full stevia
16 Medjool dates pitted and soaked
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
– Put aside the dates after they have been pitted in enough warm water to cover them for about half hour so as to soften them.
– Mix the 2 cups almond flour, 2/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt in a bowl. Now add 1 Tablespoon honey, 2 droppers of liquid stevia, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/4 cup melted coconut oil and blend well. This will be your bottom layer 🙂
– Take this mixture and make several 1 inch balls and flatten them out to about 1/8 inch thickness ***** see picture***** place on 13×9 pan lined with parchment paper
– Now lets work on the middle layer 🙂 Take the dates and drain off water, put in food processor along with 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1 cup finely shredded coconut. blend well for a few a couple minutes. This is the next layer for you to put on top of the bottom layer.
– Now, for the top layer. Melt 3/4 cup of chocolate chips in a double boiler. Let it cool just a bit so it’s not to hot and then put some on top of the other 2 layers.
– Store them in fridge and take out about 10-15 minutes before you eat them.
– Enjoy!
