Almond Butter Bliss

We had a long day around the house today, and a super special treat was definitely needed!
My oldest daughter hopped in the kitchen with me and helped me create these amazing delights!
Enjoy!
PS Notice the baby fingers photo bombing, trying to steal my almond butter cups!



Raw, Organic, Almond Butter Bliss
Recipe Type: Dessert
Cuisine: Raw Vegan
Author: Gina Law, CHHC

Ingredients
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 C Almonds
  • 1/4C Melted Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Sweetener of choice (If you are using stevia, about 5 drops should work well, but start at 3 and add a drop or two at a time, tasting as you go so you don't get that "stevia flavor"
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
For the Chocolate:
  • 1/2C melted Coconut Oil
  • 1/2C melted Cacao Paste
  • 7 drops clear liquid stevia
  • dash salt
Instructions
  1. Food process the almonds until they become smooth and creamy.
  2. Then add the rest of the filling ingredients and process until combined.
  3. Pour into a bowl and let harden a bit in the freezer while you are preparing the chocolate.
  4. Mix all of the Chocolate ingredients in a warm pan.
  5. Depending on size of your mold (Mine are fairly small), pour a 1/4 tsp of chocolate into each of the molds, and then place the molds into the freezer until chocolate is slightly firm, you can take it out periodically and swirl the chocolate around in the mold to let it harden in the sides in order to cover the entire cup in chocolate.
  6. Once firm, place about 1 tsp of the almond butter mixture into each mold. Flatten just below the top of the mold. Then pour chocolate into the mold to fill each one.
  7. Place back in freezer until hard.
  8. Store in the refrigerator.
