this is my easiest no-bake dessert 😁 NO-BAKE DATE FREEZER COOKIES! when i worked in morning television 10 years ago and was making recipes for this page, i’d make tons of freezer cookies because they were easy to make, low maintenance and a perfect healthy sweet treat to grab from the freezer for my dessert emergencies. here you’ve got a vegan / gluten-free / refined sugar-free cookie dough sweetened with dates, formed into cookies and enrobed in a smooth layer of melted dark chocolate topped with flaky salt. dessert prep > meal prep enjoy!! Ingredients 4 dates (soaked in hot water for 5 minutes to soften) 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter 1 tbsp pure maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract ⅓ cup almond flour 1/8 tsp salt mini chocolate chips (measure with the soul) 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or 1 bar of Spring and Mulberry date-sweetened Pure Dark chocolate (love this one) 2 tsp coconut oil flaky salt Method Soak the dates for 5 minutes in hot water to soften. Drain. In a bowl, smash the softened dates, and add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the almond flour and salt. Mix to form a dough. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mix. Form the dough into cookies, using about 1–2 tbsp of dough. Place on a lined baking sheet. Transfer cookies to freezer while you melt the chocolate. Combine the chocolate chips or bar if using and the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl, and melt in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth and glossy. Remove the cookies from the freezer and submerge each in the melted chocolate until fully coated. Top with flaky salt. Repeat with remaining cookies. Transfer back to the freezer for one hour to set. Enjoy! Stores in freezer for 1 week. best healthy dessert, easy recipe, date recipe, no bake dessert, cookie dough, healthy food

Chef Samah Dada’s (@dadaeats ) love for cooking began at home, watching her mom Shermeen bring "andaaz"—the Hindi word for personal style—into every dish. From their Indian roots to a California upbringing, the kitchen and dining table became a space of comfort, culture, and connection. In a special Getting Sticky in honor of Mother's Day, Dada traces her spirit of individuality and community (in cooking and in life) back to her mom, honoring her heritage and upbringing.
