Delicious and indulgent (tasting!) these are one of my FAVORITE desserts. Added bonus: they are so simple to make! Thank you miss Detoxinista!
INGREDIENTS:
For the crust/crumble:
3 cups raw walnuts 8 soft Medjool dates, pitted and chopped 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
2 cups soft Medjool dates, pitted and tightly packed 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
Line an 8″x8″ baking dish with parchment paper.
In a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, pulse the walnuts until they are finely ground into a meal. Add in the chopped dates, coconut oil and salt, and process again until sticky dough is formed. Set aside 1 cup of this dough to save for the crumble topping, then transfer the rest of the dough to the lined baking dish, using your hands to press it evenly into the bottom of the pan.
To prepare the date filling, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and process until a uniform filling is created. Spread the filling over the crust evenly, then crumble the reserved cup of dough over the top. Use your fingers to gently press the crumble topping into the date filling, then place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve chilled (I keep mine in the freezer!).
