Description

The name doesn’t lie: this recipe is pure bliss. The coc and coconut flavors with an added walnut crunch are the dessert you’ve been missing. And for an extra bonus: they don’t even require baking!

Ingredients

• 2 cup California walnuts
• 2 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 10 pitted Medjool dates
• Unsweetened coconut flakes and unsweetened cocoa powder (optional coating)

Instructions

1. Place walnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
2. Add coconut, cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and dates; pulse again until mixture forms a thick paste. (Don’t process too long or mixture will become too sticky.)
