Topped with melted chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, this no-bake dessert is easy to prepare, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with wholesome ingredients, and served chilled for a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough Base

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the cookie dough base: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. Then, fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to distribute them through the dough.
  2. Shape the dough: Prepare a cutting board or large plate with parchment paper. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto it. Using a silicone spatula or clean hands, firmly press the dough down to form an even, flat layer about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside while preparing the topping.
  3. Melt the chocolate topping: In a small bowl, mix the chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Decorate the cookie dough: Pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the flattened cookie dough. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired to enhance the flavor with a subtle salty crunch.
  5. Chill to set: Place the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to harden and the bark to set firmly.
  6. Serve: After chilling, chop the bark into large chunks and enjoy your delicious, no-bake cookie dough bark treat!

Notes

  • Sprinkling flaky sea salt on top enhances the sweetness with a contrasting savory note but is optional.
