Dark Chocolate, Cherry, And Date Bars
Author: The Chef
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups medjool date, pitted (255 g)
- ½ cup almond butter (120 g)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, plus 1½ teaspoons, melted
- 1 cup brown ri, puffed, or puffed quinoa (200 g)
- 1 cup dried cherry (125 g)
- ⅓ cup almond, chopped (45 g)
- ¼ cup water (60 mL)
- 3 oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (85 g)
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the dates, almond butter, and coconut oil. Process until well combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add the puffed rice, cherries, and almonds and pulse 5-6 times—just enough so that everything is well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press into an even layer about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Freeze for 15 minutes, until set.
- Meanwhile, pour the water into a small saucepan. Place a heatproof glass or metal bowl over the saucepan, making sure the water is not touching the bottom. Bring the water to a simmer, then add the chocolate to the warm bowl and let it melt, stirring slowly. Remove the bowl from the heat as soon as the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the date and cherry mixture and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Return the pan to the freezer for another 20 minutes.
- Once set, cut into 16 bars.
- Enjoy!
