Nuts (almonds and walnuts)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Gradually add in the melted coconut oil while stirring until a dough forms. Press the mixture into a 9 inch round pan, ensuring an even thickness. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat almond milk with vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once the base has set, cut into wedges or diamonds for a touch of elegance. Assemble each slice by drizzling a spoonful of the warm almond milk mixture over the chilled crust. Top with chopped walnuts and dried apricots to emulate the stars adorning the sky.
