✨Vegan Pecan Turtles✨ One snack I have always missed since going vegan has been caramel pecan turtles! They are such a yummy snack because they have such a good flavor combination- nutty, sweet, salty, rich, and chocolatey! ✨Ingredients pecans 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 2 1/2 tbsp coconut cream* 1/4 cup coconut sugar 3 tbsp cornstarch dash of vanilla pinch of sea salt *Refrigerate the can of coconut milk overnight and scoop out 2.5 tablespoons of the solid coconut cream that forms at the top. ✨Directions First, let’s make the caramel sauce. Start by opening the can of coconut milk and scooping out the coconut cream. Add it to a small pan over medium heat, along with the coconut sugar, vanilla, salt & cornstarch whisk everything together making sure to break up any clumps. Refrigerate the caramel for a few minutes so it can cool off and solidify. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Do this in 30-second increments, taking it out to stir the chocolate in between. Repeat this until all of the chocolate has melted. Line a tray with parchment paper. Scoop out a small spoonful of melted chocolate & spread it in a small circle on the baking sheet. Arrange five pecans in a circle on top of the chocolate. Repeat this for all of the pecans. This recipe makes about 16 turtles, so you will use up about 80 pecans. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 10 mins. Next, pour a spoonful of caramel sauce on top of each turtle. Place them in the fridge for another 15-20 mins, until the caramel hardens. Remove the turtles from the fridge & top them with another spoonful of chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. Remove the turtles from the fridge, top with flakey salt & enjoy! #pecanturtles #vegansnacks #easysnacks #veganbaking #nobakedessert #vegandessertrecipes #dairyfreerecipes #healthydessert
