Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates pitted
- 150 g Almond butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon Coconut oil for the caramel
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil for the chocolate
- 100 g Dark chocolate 80%
- Sea salt to serve; optional
Instructions
- Put 20 Medjool dates into a bowl of hot water and allow to soak for 10 minutes.
- Drain the dates and put them into a food processor with 150 g Almond butter, 2 teaspoon Coconut oil and 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract.
- Blend until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Line an 20x12cm (8x5") tin and pour the date mixture in. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Freeze for 4 hours.
- Melt together 100 g Dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon Coconut oil until smooth and silky. Once melted, allow to cool slightly.
- Remove the frozen date caramel and cut into 28 squares.
- Coat the caramel cubes in the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with a little Sea salt (optional) and refrigerate until set.
Notes
- To make it easier to spread the date mixture in the pan, put a sheet of parchment paper on top of it and use your hands to spread it out and push it down.
- Make the caramel has fully hardened in the freezer before you try to cut them. This will take around 4-5 hours.
- You can melt the chocolate in the microwave instead if you prefer. Just do it for 30 seconds at a time.
