Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cookie Dough: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  2. Form the Base: Line a cutting board or plate with parchment paper. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment paper. Using a silicone spatula or clean hands, press the dough firmly and evenly to form a flattened layer approximately 1/2-inch thick. Set aside the prepared base.
  3. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a small bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble Bark: Pour the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough layer. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate evenly to cover the entire surface. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance flavor.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled cookie dough bark in the freezer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to set firmly. Once set, cut or chop into large chunks and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy dessert!

Notes

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free and low-carb base.
  • Cashew butter can be substituted with peanut butter for personal preference.
  • Maple syrup provides natural sweetness, but you can adjust the amount based on taste.
  • Microwave chocolate carefully to avoid burning; stirring often ensures even melting.
  • Store excess bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
  • Flaky sea salt topping is optional but enhances the flavor by balancing sweetness.
