Here it goes! The first of many recipe share from one coast to the other! This one is awesome and really feels sinful, but it is almost entirely fruit!
Ingredients
-26 pitted medjool dates
-1 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 cup coconut oil
First, make sure the coconut oil is soft enough to work with. I warmed mine a little to get it there. It shouldn't be liquid, but it shouldn't be hard either. Next, soak the dates in water for about 20 minutes.
In a blender or food processor mix the dates (without the water), the cocoa, and the coconut oil. The mixture should form a ball in the food processor.
Next, press the mixture into a pan and refrigerate for about an hour. I cut the recipe into 64 bite size pieces, but you could make them bigger. It works out to 4g of carbohydrate per piece if you cut the recipe into 64 squares.
I'm keeping mine in the fridge to help maintain a nice firm consistency.
You could also add more dried fruit or nuts to this recipe. I also think with some added liquid or a little less dates you could easily use this recipe for a nice alternative to frosting on a cake or as a filler for cookies!
