Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams almond flour
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 60 ml honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 400 ml full-fat coconut milk
- 100 grams cashew butter
- 120 ml espresso
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, add honey and vanilla extract, then combine with the dry ingredients to form a dough.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it's about 0.5 cm thick.
Cut out small round cookies about 5 cm in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
For the cream, combine coconut milk and cashew butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth and thickened. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
To assemble the cake, dip each cookie briefly into the espresso before laying it in a cake pan, creating a single layer.
Spread a thin layer of the coconut and cashew cream over the cookies.
Continue layering dipped cookies and cream until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cream.
Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut for garnish.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or until set, preferably overnight.
Slice and serve chilled.
