Our challenge this month was to come up with a ‘no bake’ dessert. This challenge had my name written all over it! No bake usually means quick….at least in my book! With time being of the essence lately this challenge was perfect! I knew right away that I wanted to do a spin off of this recipe. Squash is coming into full swing with the colder months approaching and kabocha is everywhere to be seen lately! I couldn’t resist not making these! I hope you enjoy them AND all the other amazing recipes below! Have a great Saturday!

 

 

• 1/2 c (100g) cooked kabocha squash
• 2 tbs + 1 tsp (17g) coconut flour
• 1 tbs Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup (or can sub caramel extract, salt and a bit of liquid sweetener) *I found this at HomeGoods
• granulated sweetener to roll in, optional

Directions

1. Mix together your kabocha, coconut flour and syrup. (it will form a dough)

2. Form dough into desired size balls.

3. Roll in granulated sweetener, if desired.

4. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to eat!

These are AMAZING!! You all know my love of salty and sweet……these were perfection! I may or may not have eaten all of them myself 😉 They are quick and great to put in a ziplock and take on the go too! Plus, who can complain about serving up veggies in a dessert?

And then proceeded to make a second batch in which Samantha ate them too!
