Description
A quick and easy no-bake Samoa cookie recipe that combines chewy coconut, gooey caramel, rich chocolate, and a crispy cookie base, ready in just 20 minutes without an oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Golden Oreo Cookies
- 1 cup (80g) Sweetened Shredded Coconut, toasted
- 3/4 cup (180ml) Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup (180g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 3 tablespoons (45g) Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup (60g) Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- Optional: Flaked sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing gently with a rolling pin until mostly crumbs with some small chunks remain. Pour crumbs into a large bowl.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs and mix well to form the cookie base.
- Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Add toasted coconut to the cookie base and stir to combine evenly.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the cookie base and flatten into small disks. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is used, making about 20 cookie discs.
- Drizzle or spread a generous layer of caramel sauce over each cookie disk. If caramel is too runny, refrigerate for a few minutes before using.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy without burning.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel-topped cookies using a spoon or fork to create thin lines.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate and caramel to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
If caramel is too runny, refrigerate or simmer gently to thicken before spreading. Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning. Chill cookies thoroughly to set caramel and chocolate properly. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are possible with alternative ingredients.
