For the Cookie Dough:

  • 3/4 cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp non-dairy milk (almond or oat milk work well)

Instructions

Making these bars is a breeze! Follow the steps below for a no-bake dessert that’s sure to impress:

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough Base

  1. In a medium bowl, combine vegan butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Add the rice flour, corn flour, and salt to the mixture. Stir until completely combined.
  3. Fold in the dark chocolate chips for that rich, chocolatey goodness.

Step 2: Form the Base

  1. Line a 6’’x 6’’ baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Press the cookie dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using your fingers. Make sure the dough is compact and smooth.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache

  1. Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  2. Stovetop Method: Alternatively, place the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until fully melted.
  3. Once the chocolate is melted, add coconut oil and whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4: Assemble and Chill

  1. Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the cookie dough base. Use a spatula to spread it if necessary.
  2. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or until the ganache has hardened enough to be sliced.

Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once the ganache is firm, cut the bars into your desired size and serve immediately. These delicious vegan cookie dough bars are perfect for any occasion and will be a hit with both vegans and non-vegans alike!
