For the base
250g almonds
80g de-odourised coconut oil
100g maple syrup
Pinch salt
For the date caramel
100g pecans
300g dates
100g de-odourised coconut oil
50ml water
For the chocolate layer
85% dark chocolate
30g de-odourised coconut oil
Sea salt for sprinkling
Method
- Put the dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside.
- Toast the almonds and pecans on two trays at 180C for 7-8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.
- Melt the coconut oil for the base and add it to a large bowl with the maple syrup.
- When the almonds have cooled (around 5 minutes), blitz them to a rubble. Some chunks are ok. Add this rubble to the coconut oil and maple syrup and mix well. Press into the lined tin. Bake at 160C for 30 mins.
- Melt the coconut oil for the date layer. Meanwhile, blitz the toasted pecans to a fine rubble. Discard the water from the soaked dates and add the dates, 50ml water and melted coconut oil to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Once the base layer has cooled slightly, press the date layer on top.
- Melt together the coconut oil and dark chocolate and drizzle over the date layer. Pop it in the fridge until set.
- Slice into 16 portions.
