Course Dessert

Ingredients

  

Paste

• 2 cups pitted dates
• 3 tbsp maple syrup or date/agave syrup
• 2 ½ tbsp cocoa
• ½ tbsp hot water only if the dates are a bit dry
• 1 cup chopped peanuts or any other type of nut/seed

Chocolate coating

• 150 g dairy-free chocolate
• 1 ½ tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

 

• Process dates with maple syrup and cocoa.
• Transfer to a bowl, add the peanuts and mix.
• Transfer the paste to a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.
• Slightly wet your hands and press to shape an even square.
• Freeze for 2-3 hours.
• Remove from the freezer and cut into squares or rectangles.
• To make the chocolate coating, add the chocolate and oil to a bowl. Melt in the microwave or au bain-marie.
• Using two forks, dip the squares in the chocolate until they are completely coated, let the excess chocolate drip off and transfer to a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.
• Freeze until hardened.
• Optionally you can drizzle some more chocolate on top (just melted chocolate without oil) to make them look cuter and add a little bit of sea salt to give it an extra kick.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
