Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, as needed)
Instructions
Add the pitted Medjool dates to a food processor and pulse a few times until they form a sticky paste. If the dates seem a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand, then drain well.
Add the almonds, cashews, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor with the dates.
Pulse the mixture in short bursts until the nuts are finely chopped and the ingredients come together into a coarse, sticky dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
If the mixture is too dry to hold together when pressed, add water one teaspoon at a time and pulse again until the desired consistency is reached.
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Transfer the mixture to the dish and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Lift the chilled mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper or plastic wrap. Cut into 8 equal-sized bars or other desired shapes.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for longer storage.
