Ingredients
  

For the base

  • 140 Medjool dates pitted
  • 100 g cashew nuts
  • 90 g desiccated coconut desiccated
  • 40 g oats rolled
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted

For the date caramel

  • 200 g Medjool dates pitted
  • 4 tbsp almond butter almond or cashew butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • sea salt a pinch of

For the top layer

  • 100 g cacao butter
  • 40 g cacao powder raw
  • 20 g coconut sugar coconut sugar or 2 tbsp agave syrup
  • 10 g a handful of flaked almonds optional a handful of

Instructions
 

  • Put the dates, cashews, desiccated coconut and oats in a food processor and blend to combine.
  • Line a 15cm x 20cm baking tin with non-stick baking paper, then transfer the base mixture to the tin, pressing it down firmly with your hands or a spatula. Make sure you get it into all the corners. Put in the freezer to set.
  • Don’t worry about cleaning the food processor in between – just scrape it out with a spatula. Put all the date caramel ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. Spread the caramel on top of the base and return to the freezer to set.
  • Create a double boiler by simmering a little water in a saucepan and placing a second pan or heatproof bowl on top, making sure the bottom of the pan or bowl doesn’t touch the water.
  • Put the cacao butter in the pan or bowl and allow to melt, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the cacao powder and coconut sugar until creamy.
  • Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer. To add extra crunch, scatter some flaked almonds on top of the chocolate before you put it in the fridge to set.
  • Refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting into 10 slices. These will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days, but I also love these straight from the freezer, where they will keep for up to two months.
