Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.25 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 20 pieces Whole almonds
- 1 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Mix thoroughly until the coconut mixture holds together. Add more coconut cream if necessary.
Step 3
Take about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture and form it into a small log or bar shape using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 10 bars.
Step 4
Press two whole almonds gently on top of each bar, ensuring they adhere to the mixture.
Step 5
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the coconut bars on it.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Step 7
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 8
Using a fork or skewer, dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 9
Place the chocolate-covered bars back on the parchment-lined baking tray.
Step 10
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Step 11
Once the chocolate is firm, remove the bars from the fridge and enjoy your vegan homemade Almond Joys.
