No-Bak, Chocolate-Dipped Macaroons
Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions:
Combine coconut and cashews in a food processor and process until ground. Add maple syrup, vanilla, and melted coconut oil. Pulse until well combined. Press into a small pan and freeze 30 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.
