SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPES

INGREDIENTS

Makes 20 brownie bites

250 g (8 oz) fresh dates, pitted (I prefer Medjool)

400 g (4 cups/14 oz) almond meal

70 g (2 1/2 oz) raw cacao or cocoa powder, such as Healthy Chef Naked Chocolat Dark

pinch of sea salt

125 ml (1/2 cup/4 fl oz) fresh-made espresso coffee, using Healthy Chef Collagen Coffee

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

200 g (7 oz) 70% dark chocolate, for rolling

METHOD

COMBINE dates, almond meal, cacao powder and salt in a food processor.

PROCESS until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

REMOVE from the machine and spoon the crumb mixture into a large mixing bowl.

POUR IN the espresso coffee and vanilla and mix well with a spoon or your hands to form a soft dough.

ADD a little extra coffee or water if required for consistency.

PROCESS the dark chocolate in a food processor so that it resembles fine crumbs then spoon onto a serving plate or bowl.

SCOOP OUT small portions of the chocolate balls using an ice cream scoop or a teaspoon and roll directly in the chocolate crumbs.

ROLL the balls in the ground chocolate and place them onto a serving plate.

REFRIGERATE for at least 1 hour before serving.

NOTES & INSPIRATION

You can roll these brownie bites in desiccated coconut instead of grated chocolate, if you prefer.
