Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds Use whole almonds for a nutty flavor.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Adds texture and sweetness without added sugars.
  • 5 Medjool Dates, pitted Provides natural sweetness and stickiness to bind the mixture.
  • 1/8 tsp salt Enhances the overall flavor of the cookie cups.
  • 3 Tbsp sunflower seed butter A creamy base that replaces traditional peanut butter.
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup A natural sweetener that complements the other flavors beautifully.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Adds depth to the taste profile of the cookie cups.
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips For a rich chocolate topping that melts beautifully.
  • 1 Tbsp sunflower seed butter Used to mix with chocolate for an extra creamy topping.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by combining all base ingredients in your food processor. Blend until the mixture starts to clump together; this may take some time, so be patient. The dough should hold its shape easily when pressed together.
  2. Shape into Cups: Scoop one tablespoon of dough and place it into the slots of a mini silicone muffin pan. Use your fingers to press and shape the dough into small cups.
  3. Make the Caramel Filling: In a separate bowl, combine all caramel ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. This will be added as a delicious layer in each cookie cup.
  4. Fill Each Cup: Take about one teaspoon of caramel filling and pour it into each cookie cup you've shaped earlier. Make sure it’s evenly distributed among all cups.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Topping: Melt dark chocolate in the microwave using 20-30 second intervals while stirring in between until fully melted. Mix in additional sunflower seed butter to create a smooth topping mixture.
  6. Final Assembly: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over each filled cookie cup until it is flush with the top of the cookie base. Place everything in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set properly before serving.
