This healthy florentines recipe is so simple to make and utterly delicious. It is a perfect combination of toasted almonds and dark chocolate. And these sugar free florentine cookies are also gluten free and dairy free. What's not to love??
Melt the coconut oil and honey together over a low heat.
Add the flaked almonds, and gently stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until the almonds are golden brown. Take care as they will burn easily.
Place 8 spoonfuls of the mixture onto greaseproof paper or a silicone sheet. Shape into flattened circles whilst warm, pushing the mixture together with your fingers. Place in the fridge to cool.
Melt the chocolate in a basin set over a saucepan of boiling water. When it's nearly melted, remove from the heat. Spread the melted chocolate over the base of each of the florentine biscuit. Chill in the fridge, then enjoy.
Notes
For dairy free florentines, use a dairy free chocolate. For vegan florentines, switch the honey for maple syrup too.
