No Bake Samoa Bites Recipe

If you’re a fan of Girl Scout cookies, especially those irresistible Samoa cookies, then you’re in for a treat! I’ve got a no-bake version that is not only super easy to make but also healthier and just as delicious. These No Bake Samoa Bites are sweet, chewy, and loaded with coconut and chocolate goodness! Plus, they require no baking just a little mixing and freezing.

Method

Prepare the Crust

To create the perfect base for your Samoa Bites, start by gathering your ingredients: almond flour, coconut flakes, and maple syrup. In a mixing bowl, combine these ingredients and stir thoroughly until they form a crumbly yet moist mixture. The texture should be slightly sticky but still hold its shape when pressed. Once the crust mixture is ready, take a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper to make removal easier later. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed and well packed. This will help the bites hold together when sliced. Once pressed, place the loaf pan into the freezer, allowing the crust to set while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling

The filling is where the creamy and coconutty magic happens! In a clean mixing bowl, combine the nut butter (peanut butter works great), maple syrup, coconut oil, and shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth and thick filling. The combination of nut butter and shredded coconut gives it a delightful chewy texture. Once the filling is well-mixed, retrieve your crust from the freezer and spread the filling evenly over the top. Use a spatula or spoon to smooth it out, ensuring it covers the entire crust layer. This step is crucial to create that delightful layered effect when you slice the bites later.

Chocolate Topping

Now for the decadent finishing touch the chocolate drizzle! In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stovetop using a double boiler. Once melted, drizzle the chocolate generously over the prepared filling. You can use a spoon to create fun patterns or keep it simple with even strokes. After drizzling, place the entire pan back into the freezer and let it set for at least one hour to ensure the bites are firm enough to cut.

Serving

When the Samoa Bites have set completely, take the pan out of the freezer. Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the whole block from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces. The bites are now ready to serve! Enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them soften slightly at room temperature for a chewier texture.
