Dairy-Free Coffee No-Bake Bites are luscious little creamy and heavenly morsels with a nice coffee flavor. They have a slight textural component from the nut flours. If you love the flavor of coffee then this dessert is for you. These little desserts are the perfect little bite to serve when you have company. Just remove from the freezer 5- 10 minutes before serving. Perfect for spring and summertime as they are cool and refreshing.
The only kitchen appliance you will need is a food processor and a freezer. Who doesn’t like dessert? It’s even better when you don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. These bites have a little crunch and texture from the cacao nibs and the figs which are a nice surprise.
Dairy-Free Coffee No-Bake Bites have a wonderful creamy texture from the unsweetened full-fat canned coconut milk. Hence, this dessert is also dairy-free but believe it or not they are refined sugar-free as well.
Notes:
As a Scandinavian one of my favorite flavors is coffee or mocha. Hence, my son’s favorite flavored ice cream is coffee. Just about any coffee flavored dessert is going to be among my favorites.
I recently came up with this recipe as I am on a summer shred program with my daughter and every once in a while I want a small sweet bite. These little mini bites are a perfect pick me up with enough sweetness to curb my sweet tooth.
In the event you either don’t have mini cheesecake pans or would like to purchase them here is a link. Cacao is actually a seed pod and a part of the cocoa beans before being it is made into chocolate and is, therefore, less processed. Nonetheless, Cacao nibs have a slight chocolate flavor and a nice crunch when you bite into it. Giving a nice bit of texture to anything you add it to. Not to mention that these cookies are low in carbohydrates and calories.
Roasting Flour Notes:
If you can’t find roasted almond or hazelnut flour you can roast the flours themselves. Roasting adds another layer of flavor, however, if you can’t find the flour roasted or choose not to roast it you can still make this recipe.
Preheat oven to 325. Then pour the flours onto a long sheet pan roast for 10 minutes or so. Remove from oven and stir continue roasting for another 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow the flours to cool before continuing with this recipe.
