Ingredients
Method
- Soak Dates: Place the pitted dates in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Allow the dates to soak in the boiling water for 10 minutes then drain.
- Prepare the Base: Line a 9 x 5 inch rectangle loaf tin with parchment paper. Seta aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, pulse almonds and soaked dates until chunky. Add cacao, chia seeds, and almond butter. Blend until it forms a ball.
- Press into Pan: Firmly press the mixture into the lined loaf pan. Place it into the refrigerator while you make the topping.
- Melt Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt chocolate and coconut oil until smooth over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set aside.
- Melt Almond Butter: In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt almond butter and coconut oil until smooth.
- Layer With Chocolate: Pour melted chocolate over the base, spreading it out evenly.
- Swirl Almond Butter: Dollop almond butter mixture over the chocolate and swirl it through with a knife or skewer.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Almond butter swirls will remain soft while the chocolate sets.
- Slice and Serve: After setting, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for easier slicing. Enjoy!
