Ingredients
  

For the Bars:
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds (94g)
  • 1/2 cup dates (73g), halved and lightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 can coconut cream (1 cup + 1 tablespoon), chilled until solid
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave
  • 1 1/4 cups no-stir almond butter
  • 3 ounces high-quality dark chocolate
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons almonds finely chopped
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Spatula
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Make sure your coconut cream has been chilled until solid, and the dates are halved and lightly packed for easy blending.
  2. In a food processor, combine the raw almonds, dates, and 1 tablespoon of water. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly but begins to stick together. This will form the base of your bars.
  3. Next, add the no-stir almond butter and pulse again until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky, perfect for pressing into the pan.
  4. Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Transfer the almond mixture to the pan and use a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly.
  5. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth. Stir well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed almond mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the finely chopped almonds and a pinch of sea salt on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm. Once set, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut them into squares or bars.

Notes

  • Ensure your coconut cream is well-chilled for the best texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bar, feel free to increase the amount of honey or agave.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and health benefits.
