3-Ingredients Chocolate & Date Bars
Ingredients
- 200 g soft medjool dates, pitted
- 60 g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 g dark chocolate 70%
Optional
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Add a sheet of parchment paper to a small baking tray (roughly 16x12cm or similar) and set aside
- Place all the ingredients into the large bowl of a food processor. You don’t need to melt or chop the chocolate, simply break it with your hands, the food processor will do all the work.
- Blitz for 1–2 minutes until a uniform dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix—I like to keep some small chocolate chunks visible rather than fully blended in.
- Transfer the dough to your lined tray. Press it down firmly using your fingers or the base of a glass. The mixture needs to be tightly compacted to hold together once set.
- Chill to set in the fridge (at least 4 hours or overnight). Freezer: 30 mins to 1 hour.
- Once fully set and firm to the touch, lift the slab out using the parchment paper and slice into 6–7 bars using a sharp knife.
