Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Brazil nuts
- 8 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 10 pieces Dried figs
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Raw cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by soaking the dried figs in warm water for 10–15 minutes to make them soft and pliable. Drain and pat them dry before use.
In a food processor, pulse the Brazil nuts until they are finely ground, but be careful not to over-process into a paste.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, softened figs, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, raw cacao powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until it forms a sticky, cohesive dough. If needed for sweetness, add the optional maple syrup and blend again.
Line an 8-inch springform or tart pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
Press the mixture evenly into the pan, using your hands or the back of a spoon to flatten and smooth the surface.
Place the torte in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set, or in the freezer for 30 minutes if you’re short on time.
Remove from the pan carefully and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or cacao powder if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
