How to make healthier chocolate palm trees at home?
-
100 grams almond flour or 120 grams ground almonds.
-
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt.
-
Dark chocolate for coating (preferably 75% cacao or higher).
Even though this treat is healthy, it doesn’t mean it’s a low-calorie snack. It simply means the ingredients offer better nutrition. It remains a terrific option for a casual treat or a clever surprise for guests who appreciate a lighter dessert option.
Detailing:
-
Combine the almond flour and Greek yogurt in a bowl. If a touch more sweetness is desired, a small amount of stevia can be added to the mixture.
-
Begin to knead until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms. Adjust the texture by adding a little more almond flour or yogurt as needed to reach the right consistency. Shape the dough into a classic heart or palm tree form, as preferred.
-
Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cover the cooled pieces with dark chocolate, then refrigerate until the coating sets. Once the chocolate hardens, the palm trees are ready to enjoy.
