Ingredients
- For the Base:
- 7 oz pitted dates
- 3.5 oz oats
- 2.8 oz macadamia nuts (or almonds)
- 1.4 oz cocoa powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- For the Filling:
- 5.6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 10.5 oz silken tofu
- 1.7 oz thick coconut yogurt or dairy-free cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 6 large strawberries, sliced
- To Decorate:
- Finely chopped dark chocolate
- Extra strawberries
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square dish with parchment paper.
- Soak the dates for the base for 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a blender or food processor, blitz oats and macadamia nuts until they form a fine crumb. Add dates, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, blending until it becomes a sticky mix.
- Press the mixture into the dish, creating an even base layer. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
- For the filling: melt the chocolate and let it cool for 5 minutes. Blend tofu, melted chocolate, coconut yogurt (or cream), vanilla, and salt until it's creamy and smooth.
- Take the base from the fridge. Layer sliced strawberries on it and pour the chocolate mousse filling over the top. Spread it evenly and tap down a few times to remove air bubbles.
- Loosely cover and chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- For cleaner slices, freeze for 30 minutes before cutting. Use a sharp, hot knife to slice into 16 pieces. Add extra chocolate and strawberries on top.
- Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month. These bars are perfect for a delightful, creamy treat whenever you need a sweet fix!
