these take a small amount of effort & time, and it is WELL worth it. they are so popular with those I've made them for and I often get requests for them. you'd never guess they were healthy!
ingredients:
3/4 c almond flour
3/4 c shredded coconut
1/2 T pure maple syrup (grade b)
2 T melted coconut oil
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 t high quality sea salt
-preheat oven to 350F. combine all ingredients above in a food processor and press evenly into the bottom of a parchment lined 8x8 glass dish. bake for 12 minutes, remove & cool completely.
-in a medium sauce pan add 1 can full fat organic coconut milk + 1/2 c coconut palm sugar. bring to a boil, then simmer for 45ish minutes until reduced to about 3/4 c (you are making healthy sweetened condensed milk!).
-once reduced, pour over cooled crust & sprinkle evenly with 1 c chopped cacao paste (or high quality, naturally sweetened chocolate chip), 1 c shredded coconut & 1/2 chopped pecans. gently press down & pop back in oven for 30 minutes. remove & cool on counter for 1 hr, transfer to fridge and chill for another 2 hrs to set. slice, and enjoy with homemade nut mylk or clean ice cream!
