These vegan and gluten free samoa bites are inspired by the girl scout cookies! These little bites are such a fun treat- the perfect combo of chocolate and coconut with an easy 3 ingredient shortbread like base. You need to bake the base layer but after that, no baking involved! The center is made with dates and cashew butter. The toppings are melted chocolate chips and more coconut on top!

What You Need For This Recipe:

almond flour

coconut oil

maple syrup

dates

coconut cream (only the thick part, not the clear liquid)

cashew butter

vanilla

shredded coconut

chocolate chips

brownie pan

parchment paper

Recipe Tips:

Make sure you bake the shortbread like base before adding on the other layers. It won’t set right if you don’t bake beforehand.

Also make sure you use coconut cream, not coconut milk. Coconut cream is a lot thicker and the texture is different! It’s less liquid than coconut milk.

Hope you enjoy these vegan and gluten free samoa bites!
