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 the 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 blended. Then stir in the chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the dough.
  2. Form the bark base: Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cutting board or large plate. Transfer the cookie dough onto the parchment paper and use a silicone spatula or clean hands to firmly press and flatten it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside.
  3. Melt the chocolate topping: In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble the bark: Pour and evenly spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate to enhance flavor.
  5. Chill and serve: Place the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate layer. Once set, cut into large chunks and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Store the bark in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
  • For longer storage, keep the bark frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
  • You can substitute almond flour, cashew butter, or maple syrup with preferred alternatives to customize the recipe.
  • If allergic to coconut oil, omit it or replace it sparingly; if omitted, consider adding a bit more maple syrup to maintain moisture.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
