Almond tahini coconut cups

Raw energy desserts are great, nutritious foods for vegan kids. These ones are high in calcium from the tahini, almonds and hemp seeds, plus they are also gluten-free and refined sugar-free.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups raw almonds
  • ½ cup hemp seeds
  • 1½ cups shredded coconut
  • 1–2 tsp flaxseeds
  • ¼ cup dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ½ block of quality vegan dark chocolate, melted (optional)
  • Handful of crushed almonds

Method

  1. In a food processor, combine the almonds, hemp seeds, coconut and flaxseeds and process until fine.
  2. Add in the dates, maple syrup, and tahini, and process until it forms a sticky dough. If it’s not sticky enough, add the water and blend further.
  3. Press the dough into silicon muffin moulds or into a tray as a slice.
  4. Pour melted dark chocolate and top with crushed almonds before placing it in the fridge to set for a few hours.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
