Description
Delicious and healthy no-bake chocolate nut bars made with raw almonds, cashews, 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 or 270 gms by weight without pits)
- 6 tablespoons liquid coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Grind nuts. Add the almonds, cashews, and shredded coconut to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground—don’t over-process into a powder. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Grind Dates. Add the dates and coconut oil to the now-empty food processor. Process until the mixture is finely ground and forms a sticky, cohesive mass.
- Finish. Scrape down the sides of the food processor, then add the ground nuts and cocoa powder. Pulse for a few seconds just until combined—be careful not to over-process.
- Shape and chill. Line a loaf pan (9×5 inches) or any similarly sized flat-bottomed pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides for easy lifting. Press the mixture evenly into the pan, packing it firmly with the bottom of a glass. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
- Slice. Lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut into bars or bite-sized squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy chilled, as they soften at room temperature.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a sweeter taste, consider adding a bit of honey or maple syrup.
