How to Prepare Almond Frangipane Cookies With Pear Lemon Caramel [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

Frangipane Cookies:
  1. Place your almonds and cashews in the food processor fitted with a S-blade. Process until finely ground.
  2. Add the dates and process again.
  3. Add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, almond extract and salt. Process until well combined. The dough should be crumbly but sticky enough to hold together. If it’s not sticky enough, add ½ teaspoon or more of water.
  4. Roll the dough into small balls and press them down with the palm of your hand. This way you can create cookies in no time!
  5. Put the cookies in the freezer to harden for 15 minutes or longer.
Pear Lemon Caramel:
  1. Combine dates, pear, water, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cinnamon and salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Take your cookies out of the freezer and put a nice dollop of caramel in the middle of each one. For garnish and extra freshness, grate some lemon zest on top of each cookie.

Notes

These cookies will stay fresh for at least 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
