Description
These no-bake chocolate almond bars are a delicious and healthy treat made with raw nuts, dates, and cocoa powder.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup raw almonds
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 18 large medjool dates, pitted (9 ounces by weight without pits)
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted until lukewarm
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Add almonds, cashews and coconut into a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Make sure not to make into a powder. Transfer ground mixture into a bowl.
- Into the now empty food processor, add dates without pits and coconut oil. Process until it is finely ground and forms into one mass.
- Scrape sides, add ground nut mixture and cocoa powder. Process for a few seconds until it is combined, making sure not to process too much.
- Line a large loaf pan or any flat bottomed pan with parchment paper (making sure that the parchment comes up the sides for easy lifting later). Transfer the ground mixture into the pan, spread evenly and pack very well using the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass.
- Place pan in the refrigerator overnight to firm up.
- To cut bars – Holding both ends of parchment, lift bars onto a cutting board and cut into 12 bars (or small bite sized squares). Transfer into a container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Eat them cold. They tend to soften if left at room temperature.
Notes
- Refer to use smaller noor dates if desired.
