Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Cookie:

remove pits from dates and process into a paste using a food processor

add the pecans and grind into course meal

mix the pecan meal with the almond flour, cacao powder, date paste, vanilla extract and coconut oil

line a 7×5 glass baking dish with parchment paper and pat the mixture on the bottom until evenly distributed

Chocolate Fudge:

bring the almond milk to a light boil and pour over the chocolate chips and stir until chocolate is melted

whisk the raw cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla, honey and salt

add the almond butter last and mix just until all ingredients are combined. If you over mix at this stage, the oils from the almond butter will release and make it for an oily fudge!

pour the chocolate fudge over the cookie and refrigerate
