Description
This dark chocolate tahini date bark is a no-bake, naturally sweetened treat featuring soft medjool dates, creamy tahini, crunchy nuts, and a rich dark chocolate topping. It’s easy to make, satisfying to eat, and perfect for healthy snacking or dessert.
Ingredients
- 18 to 20 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup raw almonds, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 3 to 4 tablespoons tahini (or nut butter of choice)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange pitted medjool dates closely together and press firmly to form an even, sticky base. Use slightly wet fingers or a greased glass to flatten.
- Drizzle tahini evenly over the date layer. Sprinkle with chopped almonds, walnuts, and ground cinnamon.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth. Pour over nut layer and gently spread to cover evenly.
- Freeze for about 1 hour, or until fully set.
- Remove from freezer, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and cut into pieces.
Notes
- Use almond, cashew, or peanut butter in place of tahini if desired.
- Try pistachios, pecans, or hazelnuts for variety.
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or a pinch of cardamom or ginger.
- Best served cold or frozen for optimal texture and shelf life.
