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 Coffee No-Bake Bites are low in carbohydrates and calories. Making them a great KETO dessert or snack. Amazon also carries dried figs, almond flour, canned unsweetened coconut milk, instant espresso, instant coffee, hazelnut flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, and Food Processor.
Nevertheless, it pairs nicely with Refined-Sugar Free Mocha Frosting.
Roasting Flour Notes:
If you can’t find roasted almond or hazelnut flour you can roast the flours themselves. Roasting adds another deep layer of flavor, to these No-Bake Coffee Bites. However, if you 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.
