I love to use dates and coconut flakes for my desserts and I definitely believe that those two ingredients are absolutely amazing for raw vegan recipes. Dates can be used both for making crusts and other crunchy textured layers for raw vegan desserts but they can also make an amazing and delicious date cream that can be also used for cake fillings, delicious smoothies and amazing dessert toppings. YUM! Dates are totally great! Of course if we mix them with some coconut oil we have got ourselves even more options for making some delicious cakes, candies or raw vegan bars. Coconut oil and coconut flakes are great for making delicious treats, they are so healthy and full of nutritional benefits as well as their amazing tastes.
One amazing recipe that I love to do using both dates for crust and for the cream filling is this delightful and delicious raw vegan date bars recipe. I love to make all kinds of recipes using coconuts and dates, but I think that bars are definitely some of my favorite ones. For this recipe we are going to need the following ingredients:
Crust
100 g dates
100 g coconut flakes
100 g rice flakes
3-4 tbsp coconut oil.
Date Cream
100 g dates
3-4 tbsp nut butter of choice
maca powder
3-4 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup almond milk/water.
Chocolate Cream
we take 1/4 of the date cream and mix it with
1/2 cup water
3-4 tbsp carob powder
1 tbsp nut butter of choice
1 tbsp coconut oil.
For the crust we use a food processor and process all the ingredients until we get a thick and sticky consistency and then we take it out of the food processor and spread it on the bottom of a square form. Now we move on to our next step: making the cream fillings.
We use a blender for each one of the two cream filling and blend all the ingredients until we get a smooth and creamy consistency. When the first layer is done, we pour it on top of our crust, sprinkle with some more coconut flakes and then we pour the chocolate layer on top of our date caramel filling. When our delight is ready, we can put it in the freezer for a while and when it is done we can take it our of the freezer, slice it and enjoy a delicious slice of this precious and delicious beauty with our lovely friends and family members.
