Paulie and I were in a health food shop buying some staples and in the fridge were these raw chocolate square’s, Paulie has a real sweet tooth so bought one and liked it so much he asked me to have a go at making some. The taste was amazing and it’s texture was like chocolate mousse except it doesn’t have any dairy product’s at all. I took some into work and my colleagues absolutely loved them.

Ingredients (makes 1 tray)

For the base

• 100g raw blanched almonds
• 150g walnuts
• 9 pitted mejool dates
• pinch of sea salt
• 2 tbsp coconut oil

For the chocolate topping

• 4 avocado’s, flesh only
• 200ml runny honey
• 200ml coconut oil
• pinch of sea salt
• 125g pot of cocoa powder

Directions

1. Make the base by adding the almonds, dates and walnuts into a food processor. Pulse until chopped add in the salt and oil, blitz again until it comes together like a dough when squashed in your hand.
2. Spray or grease a square tray bake. Tip in the nut dough and press down with your hands to form an even layer. Place in the fridge while you make the topping.
3. Give the food processor bowl and blade a clean and dry. Add all of the topping ingredients to the food processor and blitz until smooth and shiny.
4. Top the nut base with the chocolate topping and spread out evenly. Place in a cold fridge to set for at least an hour or until needed. To serve, cut into squares or slices. Enjoy.
