Chocolate Coconut Slice

If you love bliss balls, this is for you! The time consuming part about making bliss balls is rolling and shaping the mixture; with this recipe you're basically making the same thing but pressing it into a slice tray and cutting it into squares to save time.

Ingredients

  • 400g pitted dates
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice
  • 1/4 cup ground almond meal
  • 2 heaped tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Place dates into a bowl and cover them with hot water. Soak for 10 minutes until softened. It's important not to skip this step otherwise the mixture will be difficult to work with (even in a food processor).

Drain the dates and either blend, process or mash with a fork until all big lumps are gone.

Add remaining ingredients in the bowl and stir to combine.

Line a loaf or slice tin with baking paper and press mixture into the bottom of it. Cover and place in fridge for 1 hour or until firmer to the touch.

Cut into squares and store in the fridge. This mixture should make around 24 squares.
