Gluten Free No-Bake Chocolate Almond Cake Pops Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package Kinnikinnick gluten free vanilla wafer cookies
- 10 tablespoons creamy almond butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- 1½ cups sliced almonds
Instructions
- Line a plate or baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Place the cookies in a food processor and grind into fine crumbs. Add the almond butter and process until it forms a dough. Using a small ice cream scoop, shape into balls. Place on the plate or baking sheet and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate and shortening together in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Place the almonds in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Pour onto a plate.
- Roll the balls in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Roll in the almonds and place back on the waxed paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Can be put on lollipop sticks, if desired.
