This jammy recipe is by Coconut Merchant’s contributing chef Hedi Pavelcova of the website Clean Eating.
Our wonderful contributing chef Hedi (Clean Eating) has shared this super-easy recipe for our coconut jam, and we couldn’t be more excited! It is a creative take on gluten-free thumbprint cookies, and it only has five ingredients – four of which are coconut products, so prepare for some fantastic coconutty fun! Are you hungry yet?
This recipe is: gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, meat-free, sugar-free, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Ingredients:
- 1. 1 cup walnuts
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp coconut syrup
- coconut jam
Method:
1. Start by pre-heating your oven to 180 degrees and line your baking tray with baking paper!
2. Next, place your walnuts in a food processor, and pulse until you reach a flour consistency.
3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined, before popping the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, remove from fridge. Scoop the dough out in tablespoons, which you will shape into a ball.
5. Make a well with your thumb in each ball (make sure not to press too hard!). If this causes the cookies to crack slightly, simply neaten up the edges with your fingers.
6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Don’t remove them from the baking tray until completely cool, or they will lose their shape!
7. Take a small amount of coconut jam, and fill in each well. Sprinkle a bit of desiccated coconut over the top if you want a bit of extra coconutty goodness!
8. Devour immediately! Enjoy!
