Ingredients
- 45 g (½ cup) desiccated coconut
- 7 tbsp coconut sugar
- 80 g (½ cup) blanched almonds, toasted
- 120 g (1¼ cups) ground almonds
- 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 70 g (¼ cup) almond butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp flaked sea salt
Setting time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- Line a tray with baking paper. Toast the coconut in a dry saucepan until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
- Add 2 tbsp of the coconut sugar and 2 tbsp of water to the pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute or until a light brown caramel forms. Add the almonds and continue stirring until the mixture is dry and glossy. Transfer to the lined tray and stand for 30 minutes or until cool and completely set. Break up the praline, then place in a mortar and roughly crush with a pestle.
- Preheat a fan forced oven to 180˚C. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl along with the crushed praline and 60 ml (¼ cup) water and mix to form a dough. Place tablespoons of the mixture on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
