Cuisine gluten free
- 100 g gluten-free Oreo cookies about 16 cookies
- 50 g softened cream cheese
- 50 g melted dark chocolate chips
- 1 bag slivered almonds
Topping
- 150 g dark chocolate chips
- 1-2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- Icing sugar for dusting
Place the gluten-free Oreo cookies in a food processor and blitz until they turn into fine crumbs.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and chocolate. Mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
Take a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop of the mixture and shape it into pine cone shapes.
Place the cones on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and add the coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Start with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and use more if needed for a smooth and creamy texture.
Take an almond sliver and starting from the bottom of the brownie, press an almond into the brownie to create the look of a pinecone scale. Continue around the brownie until you reach the top. Rechill if they become too warm and soft.
Coat the pine cones in the melted chocolate.
Place the decorated cones in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
