I just made no-bake Coconutty Almond Butter Dessert Bites that will knock your socks off!!! It didn't take me as long as I thought it would. They're simple, nutritious and soooo delicious! They're vegan and paleo friendly too.
I am recovering from lumbar spine surgery and one of my church members brought me these with a meal for my dessert. She was kind enough to print me the recipe. Yesterday I had enough energy to go to the store nearby and buy all organic ingredients, with the exception of the almond butter. It was $3-4 off on sale so I went for that one!
It is so simple! This would be a fun recipe for kiddos to help out with too. Here are the ingredients you will need:
12 pitted dates2 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter
1/3 cup of shredded coconut (toasted is the best)
First, pit and dice your dates and place them in a bowl. I then put the shredded coconut on top of the dates, followed by the almond butter. The recipe said to mix the ingredients and then form balls with a teaspoon, so I tried to mix it with a spoon and it wasn't that easy so I washed my hands again really well and mixed everything with my hands.
Next, I placed a little bit of coconut on a small paper plate to roll them into after forming them. This wasn't on the recipe, but I added it as I LOVE coconut and anytime I bake items like this you typically roll them into something.
The last step is to place them into the fridge or freezer to set. I put mine in the freezer for about an hour so I can enjoy a few of them. Then, I store them in the fridge.
The final step is to savor this deliciously decadent nutritious treat!
