Happy Valentines Day!
Here is an old favorite recipe for coconut cookies that we have tweaked a bit, using chocolate and dates. Normally we form small pyramids, but today I also made a heart!
Chokococonut pyramids
Makes around 12
10 fresh dates (seeds removed)
75 g dark unsweetened chocolate (roughly chopped)
30 almonds (25 g)
3 egg whites
1 tbsp coconut oil
200 g coconut flakes
Preheat the oven at 360°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix dates, chocolate, almonds and egg whites in a blender for about a minute and set aside. Melt coconut oil (can be replaced with butter) in a pot on medium heat. Add the coconut flakes and stir around for about a minute. Add the date and egg-mixture and stir until everything is mixed well. Use your hands to form small pyramids (or hearts) and put them on the parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
