What You Need To Make This Recipe

Equipment

• Silicone Mini Muffin Tray: I suggest using a silicone baking tray when making these cups. It allows for easy removal. If you don’t have a silicone tray you can use a rigid muffin tray but you must line it with paper liners for easy removal.
• Food Processor: Having a good food processor is important to process the pistachios into a paste.
• Mixing Bowls: Having mixing bowls in a variety of sizes makes preparing a recipe much easier. I like to use glass mixing bowls as to eliminate any chemical reaction that a metal bowl may have with certain ingredients.

Ingredients:

• Almond Flour: This recipe calls for almond flour for the cookie base. It not only produces a tender cookie but is also gluten free for those following a gluten free diet.
• Maple Syrup: For this recipe you are going to want to use 100% pure maple syrup.
• Avocado Oil: I use avocado oil for it neutral taste and health benefits.
• Vanilla Extract: I always opt for pure vanilla extract due to it intense vanilla flavor.
• Salt: A pinch of salt will enhance all the flavors
• Raw Pistachios: You are going to want to use shelled, raw, unsalted pistachios for this recipe.
• Bittersweet Chocolate Chips: This rich chocolate is perfect for dipping these cups in. You can also use Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips if you prefer.
• Coconut Oil: Added to the chocolate to achieve a silky smooth texture.
