OH YUMMY!!!! Just try it, and with the proper ingredients!!
Base:
3/4 cups raw almonds
1/2 cup raw cashews
2 cups (packed) pitted medjool dates
1/3 cup raw cocoa/carob powder
1/4 tsp celtic salt
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla paste
Frosting:
1/2 cup coconut butter (not oil)
1/4 cup raw agave nectar
2 Tbs raw cocoa/carob powder
Pinch of Celtic salt
- Line a 8-inch tray with baking paper.
- Prepare the base by processing the almonds and cashews until very fine.
- Add the dates and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and then comes together.
- Add the cocoa/carob powder, salt and vanilla and process until it's mixed in to the nut and date mixture. The mixture needs to be able to stick together when pressed, if it isn't add a few drops of water and process again.
- Press into the prepared pan with wet hands.
- Prepare the frosting by processing together the coconut butter and agave until smooth.
- Add the cocoa/carob powder and salt and process through. Do not over process; just quickly.
- Smooth the frosting over the base and refrigerate for an hour or more until set and firm.
- Slice and ENJOY!
These look delicious. I bet your kids loved them :-)
