Description
These coconut date bites are basically chewy little squares of ground almonds, coconut, medjool dates, and vanilla bean, topped with a thin, crunchy layer of dark chocolate. They’re the perfect no-bake snack/sweet!
Ingredients
Scale
- 185g raw almonds
- 25g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 tsp ground vanilla or vanilla paste
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 290g medjool dates, pitted*
- 29g (1 oz) 70% cacao + dark chocolate
Instructions
- Line a standard 1lb loaf pan (8.5” x 4.5”) with parchment paper.
- To a food processor, add the raw almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, vanilla, and kosher salt. Pulse together in intervals until the mixture looks like coarse flour. Add in the medjool dates and blitz together again, until the mixture looks loose and crumbly, but sticks together with pressed between your fingers. Pop the mixture into the loaf pan and press into the pan with your hands or use the bottom of a cup.
- Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle the melted chocolate over the bites, spreading it evenly over the bites with a spatula. Pop the bites in the freezer to set for 1 hour. Then cut into squares (recipe yields 18 bites) and store in the fridge in a glass container.
