BASE:
  • 1 cup dates, soaked 
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (organic for the best flavour)
  • 1 cup peanuts, raw

Line a 20 cm square baking dish with baking paper. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor. Whiz them up for a few minutes then press the mixture evenly into the baking dish. Place in the freezer while you make the top layer.

TOPPING:
  • 1 1/2 cups dates, soaked 
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, whole (or other nuts)
  • 1 cup walnuts, whole (or other nuts)
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or other liquid sweetener such as pear, apple or agave syrup
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of peanut butter (I prefer the real natural stuff - straight from the peanut butter mschine at the wholefoods store)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Chopped nuts or shaved coconut to sprinkle on top

In the food processor, place the dates, maple syrup and coconut oil. Blend until silky smooth. Add the cacao  and blend until thoroughly combined - no lumpy bits. Then add the nuts, peanut butter and salt. Blend until the nuts have been chopped up just how you would like it. I wanted chunky nuts so I didn't blend the mixture for more than 30 seconds or so.

Remove the base from the freezer and pour topping over it. Spread it around so it's nice and even then sprinkle chopped nuts of coconut on top. Place back into the freezer for around 10-15 minutes. 

Remove from freezer and slice into squares. YUMMMMM :)
