Serves 6
ingredients
Filling
- 7 dates*
- 2 ½ tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Powder
- 4 tbsp Cacao Powder
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil, melted
- 4 tbsp boiled water
- other toppings of your choice (I used Goji Berries & pistachios)
Base
- ½ cup dates*
- 1 cup activated nuts of your choice
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil, melted
- ¼ cup Shredded or Desiccated Coconut
- *If the dates seem hard, soak them in boiling water for 5 minutes. Discard the water and proceed with the recipe as normal. This also adds extra moisture to the base.
method

- Step 2 :Once the mixture resembles crumbs, press into a lined slice dish or cake tin. Place into the fridge while you prepare the topping.
- Step 3 :Place all ingredients in a high powered blender or food processor and mix until it's a smooth chocolatey consistency. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon or so of extra of hot water.
- Step 4 :Place filling on top of the base, then scatter coconut (and whatever else you choose) on top.
- Step 5 :Place in the fridge for 1-2hrs before serving.
