Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: raw, vegan, gluten-free
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
cookies
  • 1 cup oat flour (simply pulse oats in blender to form powder)
  • 8 pitted dates, soaked in warm water at least 30 minutes
  • ¼ cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • dash of salt
cream filling
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 4 hours
  • ¼ cup coconut butter
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
coloring
Instructions
  1. To prepare the cookies, place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until mostly smooth (you may need to scrape the sides down a few times).
  2. On a clean surface (I use a piece of parchment paper) roll the mixture out until it's about ¼" thick. Use a circular cookie cutter (I actually used a shot glass) to cut out cookies. Transfer the cookies to a cutting board or flat plate and place in freezer to set.
  3. Prepare the filling by draining the cashews and blending them with all the cream filling ingredients until smooth.
  4. Transfer the mixture to four different bowls. Stir a little of each powder into each bowl to add color. I started with ⅛ teaspoon of each and added more until the desired color and taste was reached.
  5. Remove cookies from freezer. Layer the cream filling between the cookies to create sandwiches. You may want to set them back in freezer for 15 minutes to set before enjoying. Store in the refrigerator.
