Vegan Coconut Macaroon Nests
Recipe type: Cookie, Snack, Dessert, Vegan
Serves: 7
 
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup agave nectar*
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened medium shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp sweetened large flaked coconut (or more unsweetened coconut)
  • A pinch of pink salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • A dash of cinnamon, optional
  • ½ ripe avocado
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 21 Raw Vegan "Mini Eggs"
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350⁰F and line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup agave nectar, coconut milk, and coconut flour until combined. Add shredded coconut, salt, 1 tsp vanilla, cinnamon and mix well.
  3. Using a muffin scoop, scoop 7 large mounds of macaroon mixture onto prepared cookie sheet. With your fingers, press an indent in the centre to make a nest shape.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. Yields 7 large nests or 10 mini nests.
  5. While macaroons cool, prepare chocolate mousse by blending avocado, 2 tbsp agave nectar, coconut oil, and cocoa powder in a food processor.
  6. Once macaroons are cool, spoon a dollop of avocado mousse into the indentation and top with 3 Raw Vegan "Mini Eggs".
Notes
*I used a dark agave nectar, which yielded a brown macaroon. Maple syrup also works here. For a whiter macaroon, use honey (not vegan) or another light-coloured sweetener.
