Ingredients
2cups Medjool dates, 0.5cup Raw cashews, 0.5cup Almonds (toasted), 0.5cup Unsweetened coconut, 0.25cup Dutch process cocoa, 2tablespoons Coconut oil, 1teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1tablespoon Cold espresso, 1pinch Salt, 1pinch Cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Remove pits from Medjool dates and roughly chop them. You will need about 2 cups of prepped dates.
2. Add raw cashews, toasted almonds, unsweetened coconut, chopped dates, and cocoa powder to a food processor.
3. Melt coconut oil in the microwave for a few seconds until liquid. Pour into the food processor.
4. Add vanilla extract, cold espresso, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the food processor.
5. Process the mixture in the food processor, pulsing on and off, until it comes together into one mass. If you prefer a chunkier texture, process for about a minute. If it seems dry, add a little more water or coffee.
6. Transfer the mixture into a plastic-wrapped pan or casserole dish. Press it down evenly with a spatula, then place another piece of plastic wrap on top and use your hands to smooth it out completely.
7. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
8. Once firm, remove from the pan and cut into desired bar sizes. Store in a Ziploc bag in the fridge, or wrap individually in parchment paper and tie with butcher's twine for a rustic look.
