- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 7 Medjool dates, pitted
- 50 g (⅕ cup) nut butter (cashew, peanut, almond, or tahini)
For the Topping:
- 300 g (2 cups) fresh strawberries
- 300 g (10.6 oz) chilled full-fat canned coconut milk
- 200 g (7 oz) vegan dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Blend walnuts, cocoa powder, and salt in a food processor to a crumb consistency. Add dates and nut butter, blend until a dough forms. Press evenly into an 8x8" lined cake tin.
- Assemble Strawberries: Clean and slice strawberries, then arrange on top of the base.
- Create Chocolate Ganache: Chop the chocolate finely. Simmer coconut milk without boiling, then pour over chocolate. Let sit for 3-5 minutes, then stir. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract, mix until smooth. Pour over strawberries, tilting the pan for even coverage. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries if desired.
