Overall rating 0 0 ratings

3 cups almond flour
2 cups medjool dates (presoaked to soften and strained. Note: soak for a few hours in warm water, or cover with boiling water and soak 15-20 minutes if you don’t care for the recipe to remain raw)
3/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup liquid sweetener of choice (I used maple syrup)
1 tbsp lemon juice
pinch of salt
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract (or a pinch of raw ground vanilla beans)
1/2 tbsp kahlua (adds a deeper flavor, but not raw or paleo. For raw/paleo version, add another pinch of raw ground vanilla bean)
1/8 tsp black pepper
Topping Layer Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut oil, very soft or liquified (but not hot!)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp liquid sweetener of your choice (I used maple syrup)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp kahlua (for raw/paleo version, add a pinch of raw ground vanilla bean instead)
