Easy Vegan Samoa Cups

happy Thursday babes! let’s celebrate the last couple of days of 2021 with Easy Vegan Samoa Cups! one of the best desserts that is on my blog to be honest. Samoa cookies were some of my all time faves and recreating a vegan, healthier cup version has been so fun!

you don’t want to sit on this recipe y’all, it’s a MUST make. also, i made this recipe SUPER easy for you!

the cookie base is made with only 6 ingredients and you add the dough to parchment muffin cups.

then, the cookie layer bakes in the oven for 25 minutes total. once the cups cool down, you can add the caramel coconut filling, which is beyond addicting by the way.

again, it’s really easy to make and all you need is a food processor. the filling does not have any added sugar as it’s sweetened with dates.

also, for the cookie base, i used lakanto, which is a 1:1 monkfruit sweetener, but you could totally use cane sugar.

ah but the caramel layer, oh my GOODNESS. from dates, to heavy coconut cream, slivered almonds, almond butter and more, it’s fabulous.

i happened to have a little leftover from the recipe and was honestly shoveling it into my mouth at an alarming speed lol.

that’s how good it is, seriously, if you have leftover, i would keep it and use as a spread for anything.

then ya need that chocolate drizzle on top, we cannot forget that part! just melt some chocolate chips with coconut oil or vegan butter and go to town.

you don’t have to stop at a drizzle, actually, you could just add a thick chocolate layer, but ya know, was trying to emulate samoa cookies here.

the samoa cups hold up really well in the fridge and freezer, but if you’re storing them in the freezer, the cups have to thaw quite a bit before you eat them.

whatever works! either way, i don’t think they will last very long lol, especially if you take them somewhere, like to a get together.

people will want the recipe, i promise you that. plus, the samoa cups are so portable! keeping them in parchment muffin cups was the move.

  • almond flour
