Ingredients
BASE:
½
c
. pumpkin seeds
(you can use another nut or seed here if you prefer)
½
c
. oats
(can also be replaced with more nuts or seeds if paleo or grain-free)
10
large
, soft dates (I used Medjool)
3
T
. cocoa powder
¼
t
. sea salt
1-3
t
. water
(less if using a 'fattier' nut like walnuts)
FILLING:
2
avocados
(use a less ripe one to ensure less avocado taste)
4
T
. maple syrup
3
T
. cocoa powder
1
t
. vanilla
⅛
t
. sea salt
1
T
. coconut oil
, melted
10
drops liquid stevia
(or another tablespoon of maple syrup)
Instructions
BASE:
Process the seeds and oats (if using) until they are broken down into a meal consistency.
Remove the mix, and add in the dates.
Process the dates until they form a ball of date paste.
Add back in the seed/oat mix along with the cocoa powder and salt.
Process until well-mixed.
Add in water as needed until the mix begins to clump a bit.
Press the mix into a lightly oiled 7 x 5 inch glass dish (mine is by Pyrex).
Place into the refrigerator while you make the filling.
FILLING:
Process all of the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Pour atop the base.
Chill the dessert until the top has set (it will still be slightly soft).
Cut and serve!
