Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) bag sweetened flaked coconut (about 4 cups lightly packed)
- 2/3 cup hulled hemp seeds, toasted
- 1/2 cup (plus 2 tablespoons) finely ground almonds
- 1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Generously grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened flaked coconut, toasted hulled hemp seeds, finely ground almonds, and grated lemon peel. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Add the sweetened condensed milk and pure vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 4: Shape the Hemperoons
Heap tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about one inch apart. Press each mound gently to form a slightly mounded shape.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake the Hemperoons in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Store
Use a spatula to transfer the Hemperoons to a wire rack to cool. They will harden as they cool. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Enjoy your delicious Hemperoons as a snack or dessert for any occasion!
