Sesame Coconut Almond Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 2 cups ground coconut (grind further for a finer texture)
  • 2 cups raw sesame seeds

• • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp stevia sweetener (or your preferred sweetener)
  • Crushed almonds, for topping

Directions:

1. 1. Grind the Coconut:
      • Start with 2 cups of ground coconut. For a smoother texture, grind the coconut a little more in a food processor until it’s fine and creamy.
   2. Toast the Sesame Seeds:
      • • In a skillet over medium heat, toast 2 cups of raw sesame seeds, stirring continuously until they turn a beautiful golden color. Be careful not to burn them.

       

   3. Grind the Sesame Seeds:
      • Once toasted, transfer the sesame seeds to a grinder or food processor and grind them for about 5 minutes until they turn into a thick, creamy paste.

1. 1. Mix Ingredients:
      • In the food processor, combine the sesame paste with the finely ground coconut. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of stevia sweetener.
      • Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

1. 1. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
      • Line a muffin tin with silicone liners. Evenly distribute the mixture into each section, pressing it down gently.
   2. Add Almonds:
      • • Sprinkle crushed almonds on top of each bite for extra crunch and richness.

       

   3. Chill:
      • Place the muffin tin in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the bites to firm up.

1. Serve:
   • Once firm, remove the bites from the fridge and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions:

• • Serve these bites as a snack or dessert, paired with a cup of tea or coffee.

• Store them in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go treat.
