Description

Raw, vegan and full of chocolate? How can this happen? Does this mean this is a healthy, sweet, very chocolate-y experience? Yes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the base
  • 3,52 oz (100 g) almonds
  • 2,47 oz (70 g) dates, pitted
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • For the filling
  • 1 and 1/2 medium sized ripe avocados
  • 2,47 oz (70 g) raw cocoa powder
  • 1,76 oz (50 g) coconut oil
  • 3,52 oz (100 g) coconut flower sugar (you can substitute with raw cane sugar)
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded
  • pinch of Himalayan salt

Instructions

  1. If you have time soak the almonds for at least 6 hours then drain and dehydrate them (The soaking releases the enzyme inhibitors and makes them easier to digest.). In a food processor blend the almonds. Add dates and salt and blend until you get a ‘dough’ or until the mixture forms a ball (if it’s too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil to the dough).
  2. Line the spring form pan with cling film and press the dough into the bottom of the pan. Place it in the freezer to harden until you make the ganache.
  3. Place all the filling ingredients in a food processor then blend everything until smooth. Pour the ganache over the base. Set in the freezer for 1 hour (it should be firm enough to slice up). If you’re impatient you can take out after 45 minutes freezing. :)
