  • 1 cup (150g) dates
  • 2 teaspoon cacao powder

Chocolate Layer

  • 100g (vegan) chocolate
  • 1 cup (230g) coconut cream (cream of unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk, see notes)
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Put coconut milk in the fridge overnight.

Crust

  • Put all the ingredients for the crust into a food processor and blend until a sticky ball-like mass forms (this might take a couple of minutes, make sure to scrape down the sides every 30 seconds or so).
  • If your dates aren’t soft enough, soak them in very hot water for 10 minutes before using them.
  • Press the crust into a cake tin, using your fingers.

Marzipan Layer

  • Knead marzipan until soft.
  • Then roll out to a thickness of about 5mm, using a rolling pin. It should equal the size of your crust. (see photos above)
  • Put the marzipan on top of the crust and use your fingers to gently press down.

Chocolate Layer

  • Put coconut cream and chocolate in a pan.
  • Slowly heat the pan and melt down chocolate and cream.
  • Then pour the liquid over the marzipan layer and put it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Coconut cream: Make sure to put your coconut milk in the fridge the evening/day before you want to make this recipe. It is really important that your coconut milk has a is a full-fat milk and has a high content (of coconut extract, otherwise there won't be a lot of cream on top. I prefer using a coconut milk that contains 90% coconut extract, whereas I also tried using a 55% version and it didn't work. How many coconut milk tins you need, in order to get 1 cup of coconut cream also depends on the coconut content of your milk. If the content is high, one milk is definitely enough.
