DIFFICULTY EASY


Ingredients


280g dates, pitted
3 tbsp (40g) coconut oil, melted

Pulse the dates, coconut oil, almond butter and cocoa powder in a food processor for a few minutes, until it forms a thick, smooth paste.

3.
In a lined baking tray, press the mixture down to around 1.5 cm thick. Pop in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to soften.
