Chocolate Pinecones
These Chocolate Pinecones are the perfect dessert to make this holiday season. They're made with simple ingredients like almond flour, tahini and topped with a chocolate cereal to create that pinecone texture. These will make a great addition to any holiday board.
Servings 3 pinecones
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate tahini or regular almond butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup Chocapic cereal
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chocolate tahini, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Add in almond flour and cacao next, and mix until a dough is formed.
- Split the dough into three equal parts, and using your hands form each one into a pinecone shape that is bigger at the bottom and larger at the top. Almost like a triangle.
- Next, starting at the top and working your way down add in the chocapic cereal one piece at a time.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
Notes
- Mix together the wet ingredients first before mixing in the almond flour.
- You can use oat flour for this recipe, but you may not need as much as almond flour is more fine. Start with 1/2 cup and add in more as needed.
