If you love the iconic combination of chocolate, caramel, and toasted coconut, these Samoas Chocolate Caramel Coconut Yogurt Dessert Cups are about to become your new favorite no-bake treat.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups thick, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (may omit if you use vanilla flavored yogurt)
- pinch salt
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (I used oat milk)
- mini gluten-free vanilla cookies
- vegan caramel sauce
Instructions
- Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy.
- Whisk together yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy. Chill for at least 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Make the chocolate ganache. Add the chocolate chips to a bowl. Warm the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then pour over the chocolate chips. Allow the milk to melt the chips for about a minute and then whisk to combine. The chocolate will set up as it cools. You want it pourable but not too liquidy.
- Warm the caramel sauce about 30 seconds in the microwave so that it is also pourable.
- Layer the ingredients. In glasses, start with a small amount of yogurt on the bottom of each glass. Then add 2-3 mini cookies. Spoon more yogurt over the cookies to cover them completely.
- Next, pour a layer of caramel sauce over the yogurt.
- Add 2-3 more cookies on top of the caramel.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the cookies to cover them completely.
- Lastly, sprinkle a generous amount of toasted coconut on top of the chocolate ganache. Repeat the layering process for all cups and then place them in the fridge to set up, preferably overnight.
Storage
Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days. For a firmer texture, freeze 20–30 minutes before serving.
