Instructions

1. Make cookie base:

In a bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa, sweetener, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Add almond milk if too dry.
Press mixture firmly into an 8×8″ parchment-lined pan. Freeze 10 minutes to set.

2. Make cherry filling:

Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth.
Mix in cherry spread (or blended fresh cherries) and vanilla until pink and creamy.
→ Pro tip: Chill filling 5 minutes for easier handling!

3. Assemble minis:

Remove base from freezer. Spread cherry filling evenly over top.
Freeze 15–20 minutes until firm.
Cut into 24 small squares (or use mini cookie cutter for perfect circles).

4. Coat in chocolate:

Melt chocolate chips + coconut oil in microwave (20-sec bursts) or double boiler until smooth.
Dip each mini bite halfway or fully into chocolate; place on parchment.
Optional: Sprinkle with crushed “cookie” crumbs or sea salt while wet.

5. Set & serve:

Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until chocolate is firm.
Store in airtight container between parchment layers.
