Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates, soaked in filtered water for 1 hour and drained
  • 4 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 &1/2 cup raw almonds, unsalted
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ½ cup raw hazelnuts
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp raw honey

Instruction

Place the pitted dates, 2 tbsp raw cacao powder, cashews and hazelnuts in the food processor and mix until well blended. Spread the mixture in a small baking pan an press it down with your fingers or a spoon. Place the almonds in the food processor and mix to obtain peanut butter (it should take about 10-12 minutes, pausing every minute to not overrun the machine; the texture will go all the way from coarsely chopped, to crumbly, finely ground and butter). Add the bananas, honey, coconut oil and 2 tbsp raw cacao powder to obtain a smooth cream. Pour the banana cream on top of the date base and spread evenly. Cover with a plastic foil and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator, cut in squares, sprinkle with raw cacao powder and serve.
