This a great recipe is for something a little different to just raw chocolates and it only takes about 10 minutes to make, so ideal if you're pushed for time; and of course it tastes great!

Ideally you will need a food processor to make it, but if you don't have one then you can also use a blender.

Ingredients

• 3 cups walnuts
• 20 pitted & chopped dates
• 2/3 cup raw cacao powder
• 15g raw cacao butter
• 1 tsp water
• 2 tbsp Sweet Freedom
• 1 tsp vanilla powder or a few drops of vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt or Himalayan rock salt
• Desiccated coconut to sprinkle on top

Method

1. Slowly melt the cacao butter in a bowl over hot water and place to one side
2. Roughly grind the walnuts in a food processor. Don’t over process them or they will go oily
3. Add the water, a pinch of salt, the dates, cacao powder, vanilla and Sweet Freedom to the food processor and pulse briefly to start mixing
4. Add the melted cacao butter to the other ingredients and process them all together until it lumps up. Careful not to over-process
5. Once the mixture starts to look like cake, test it by pressing some between your thumb and finger. When the mixture sticks together easily it is ready
6. Turn the mixture out onto a plate and press in to a cake shape
7. Dust the top with the desiccated coconut
8. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to help it set, but it tastes great straight away too
