Description
These simple, no-bake bars are a breeze to make and are totally suitable for snacking but still delicious enough for dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (210 g) raw cashews
- 1 cup tightly packed (250 g) soft, pitted dates
- 1/2 cup (120 g) tahini
- 1 (80 g) dairy-free dark chocolate bar or approx. 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
- Add the cashews to a food processor and pulse until mostly broken down.
- Add the dates and tahini and mix until it forms a big clump of thick dough.
- Line a square baking pan (mine was 7 x 7 inch) with 2 overlapping strips of parchment or wax paper.
- Press the dough into the pan, taking a few minutes to firmly press it down and smooth it out.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, bowl placed over a pot of boiling water or double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth and creamy.
- Use a spatula to evenly spread the chocolate over the bars. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Place in the freezer for 2 hours to set then lift out of the pan and cut into 16 squares (or 8 large bars if you prefer).
Notes
Feel free to double the amount of chocolate used for a thicker chocolate topping. If you prefer, use my recipe for raw vegan chocolate to make the chocolate coating.
