No bake Coconut Cream Cookie dough bars

These raw cookie dough squares are the ultimate treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Combining the two best flavors ever : choice chips cookie and coconut, they just taste like your favorite candy bars but in a healthier version. They contain only 2 tablespoon of maple syrup, no refined sugar, and are gluten free. Again a good reason to treat yourself and remember plant-based food is nothing but boring! I’m a huge cookie dough lover, whereas I am not that crazy about baked cookies. I love them with a vanilla flavor and a pinch of salt, melting in mouth, with big chunks of chocolate. I mean, it is so addictive that I could eat a whole jar! Hopefully for me it is not something part of the French culture and it is still hard to find some in stores. Until Ben & Jerry launched its vegan range in Europe and now I can find my favorite PB & Cookie ice-cream in my local supermarket. No need to mention that I have to work hard on myself to keep me from buying one pint each time I go for shopping. Anyway, I love cookie dough but also I know it is […]

These raw cookie dough squares are the ultimate treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Combining the two best flavors ever : choice chips cookie and coconut, they just taste like your favorite candy bars but in a healthier version. They contain only 2 tablespoon of maple syrup, no refined sugar, and are gluten free. Again a good reason to treat yourself and remember plant-based food is nothing but boring!

I’m a huge cookie dough lover, whereas I am not that crazy about baked cookies. I love them with a vanilla flavor and a pinch of salt, melting in mouth, with big chunks of chocolate. I mean, it is so addictive that I could eat a whole jar! Hopefully for me it is not something part of the French culture and it is still hard to find some in stores. Until Ben & Jerry launched its vegan range in Europe and now I can find my favorite PB & Cookie ice-cream in my local supermarket. No need to mention that I have to work hard on myself to keep me from buying one pint each time I go for shopping.

Anyway, I love cookie dough but also I know it is definitely not the best product for your health. Industrial cookie dough often involves lot of additives, thickening ingredients, lots of fat and sugar. So much sugar that I can barely eat one spoon with being totally disgusting. Which is too bad when you know how easy and quick it is to make your own one. And let me assure you that it will be far better than the one you could buy. Also, it makes it possible to craft your own cookie dough version: do you like vanilla? Well, add more vanilla to your taste! You want it very creamy? Add some peanut butter! And that way you can experiment to create your best cookie dough ever.

This time, I wanted to make raw squares because I love raw food. Not only it keeps all the nutriments and benefits of the ingredients (which else could be destroyed during the baking process), but it also so convenient! You don’t need any expensive equipment expect a blender or mixer, no need to turn on your oven (which is really pleasant during summer), and raw recipes are often pretty easy to make and foolproof. That’s why I really like to make and share raw recipes, because I am sure that everyone of you can do it at home!

For this recipe, I wanted to make something more than simple cookie dough and to pair it with a delicious creamy coconut frosting. I love how the coconut cream and cookie dough go well together, both their flavors and texture are perfectly complementary. While the cookie dough will harden in freezer, the coconut frosting will add a smooth and creamy flavor, leading in a delicious and well balanced treat. Also, I wanted to keep the recipe simple and avoid allergen so that most of you can enjoy it!

The recipe is gluten free (the only flours are almond and coconut), dairy free and low in sugar. For those who have peanut butter allergy you can simply substitute the peanut butter by any other nut butter like cashew or almond, or simply omit it add 1 tbsp more coconut oil. Here, I have used my favorite peanut butter from GoNuts. I love it because it is totally natural, organic, and 100% peanuts, no salt, no oil! The perfect alternative when I don’t have time to make my own.

  • 2 c.à.s de chocolat noir haché

  • 1 c.à.s de sirop d’érable

Instructions

Pâte à cookie

  1. Faire tremper les dattes 10 minutes dans de l’eau chaude pour les ramollir.
  2. Mixer les dattes dénoyautées avec 2 c.à.s d’eau dans un blender jusqu’à obtenir une sauce épaisse bien homogène.
  3. Ajouter la poudre d’amande, l’huile de coco, le beurre de cacahuète, le sirop d’érable, la vanille et le sel, et mixer de nouveau jusqu’à obtenir une pâte lisse et homogène.
  4. Transférer le mélange dans un grand bol et y ajouter la farine de coco et le chocolat noir haché en gros morceaux. Mélanger à l’aide d’une spatule pour bien incorporer. A ce stade, vous devriez avoir une pâte lisse, ferme et modelable.
  5. Chemiser un plat de forme carrée ou rectangle avec du film plastique. Y verser la pâte cookie et bien tasser à l’aide d’une spatule ou des mains pour former une couche bien lisse et plate.
  6. Mettre au congélateur pour 1 heure.

Nappage chocolat

  1. Préparer le nappage chocolat en mélangeant tous les ingrédients dans un bol.
  2. Retirer le plat du congélateur, et démouler. A l’aide d’un couteau à large lame, découper la pâte en carrés de tailles régulières. A l’aide d’une cuillère, napper immédiatement de chocolat.

  4. Retirer du congélateur 10 minutes avant de servir afin que les carrés s’attendrissent et donnent une texture onctueuse.
