Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pitted dates (if dates are very dry, soak in warm water 5 minutes)
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 3/4 cups walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao.
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa nibs
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (plus 1 tablespoon for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the walnuts until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add the dates and dried cherries to the food processor and blend until reduced to a coarse paste.
  3. Add the walnuts, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs and shredded coconut. Pulse until combined.
  4. Transfer mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log. Using the wrap, flatten and shape the log into an 8×3 inch rectangle (20cm x 7cm). Sprinkle the top of the log with shredded coconut and pat it into the log so it sticks. Wrap and freeze 10-15 minutes before cutting into bars.
  5. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
