Ingredients
15 fl-oz. coconut cream
1/4 c. coconut oil, extra virgin
1/2 c. date syrup, +/- to preference
12 T. vanilla extract
1 t. salt
3/4 c. cacao powder, raw, +/- to preference [1]
1 c. walnuts, crispy, chopped, or other nuts
Directions
- MIX & FIRM
- Soften coconut cream in a glass measuring cup in a hot water bath, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Mix coconut cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth.
- Mix in coconut oil, date syrup, vanilla extract & salt thoroughly.
- Mix in cacao powder 1 T. at a time, while mixing to ensure no lumps, check for flavor while adding until it reaches your preference.
- Make any flavor adjustments to preference.
- Chop nuts and mix into batter by hand. Spread mixture 8” x 8” baking pan or a silicone mold, and refrigerate until firm.
- Cut in half one way and then the other to make four equal squares, and then cut each small square into equal pieces and serve immediately while still chilled
Tips & Tricks
- Crispy nuts and seeds are soaked for 8-12 hrs. to reduce antinutrients and unlock nutrition, then re-crisped using low heat to preserve nutrients and fats. We recommend using crispy nuts over unsoaked/raw nuts and seeds. See the Make Your Own link above for preparation instructions.
- Ingredient Substitutions
Raw cacao powder is nutritionally superior to cocoa powder, with more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals due to minimal processing and heat. It has a more intense, bitter, complex flavor vs. cocoa’s milder, smoother taste. You can substitute cocoa for cacao, but the flavor will be less pronounced. - Valued Vendors
