Louise's flourless chocolate biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of nuts and cocoa without the need for flour. Perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking to enjoy a delicious, homemade snack, these biscuits are both nutritious and indulgent.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure all the nuts and seeds are fresh.
- Pit the dates if they are not already pitted.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the cashew nuts and macadamia nuts in a food processor. Pulse them until they are finely ground into a coarse meal. Be careful not to over-process, as you do not want them to turn into nut butter.
- Add the dates and sesame seeds to the food processor. Continue to pulse until the mixture starts to come together. The dates will help to bind the mixture because of their stickiness.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture. Pulse again until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture has an even chocolatey color.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
- Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and gently press them down with your fingers or a fork to flatten them into biscuit shapes.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. The biscuits should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft in the center. They will harden as they cool.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your flourless chocolate biscuits as a delightful snack, with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a dessert!
Tips:
- Ensure your nuts are unsalted and raw for the best flavor and texture in your biscuits.
- For an even finer texture, consider soaking your dates in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending.
- Use a food processor to blend the ingredients to achieve a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping and baking to make it easier to handle.
- Experiment with adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
Louise's flourless chocolate biscuits offer a simple yet delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising on health. With a few wholesome ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a treat that's perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own. Happy baking!
