Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup (147 g) Medjool dates - soaked in hot water and drained
  • 3 cups (709.76 g) almond flour

Gooey Centre

  • 1 cup (250 g) almond butter
  • ½ cup (118.29 ml) maple syrup

Chocolate Top

  • 80 g dairy-free dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • sea salt flakes - for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Place the drained dates into a food processor. Add almond flour and pulse until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Press the dough with your hands into a small, square baking tray to create the base. Place into the fridge to firm up.
  • For the gooey filling, add almond butter and maple syrup to a bowl. Stir to combine until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Add the filling on top of the base and place in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Pour the melted chocolate on top of the filling.
  • Place back into the freezer for at least an hour. When the chocolate has been set, remove it from the freezer and cut it into squares using a hot, sharp knife.
