Method
1️⃣
Prepare the baking pan
Line a 20x25 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
TIP: Lightly wet the pan before lining it to help the parchment paper adhere better!
2️⃣
Prepare the base
Split the dates in half, remove the seeds, and arrange them side by side on the baking pan. Press them down with the bottom of a bowl until they form an even base.
3️⃣
Add the almonds
Coarsely chop the almonds and distribute them over the date base, filling in any empty spaces.
4️⃣
Spread the almond cream
Pour the
almond cream over the base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5️⃣
Let it set in the freezer
Cover the pan with another baking sheet or a cutting board and let it set in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
6️⃣
Prepare the chocolate
Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler with a teaspoon of coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
7️⃣
Coat the bars
Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate over the surface. Spread it evenly with a silicone spatula.
8️⃣
Add the finishing touch
Sprinkle the surface with salt flakes and return to the freezer for about 1 hour.
9️⃣
Cut and serve
Transfer the parchment paper with the mixture to a cutting board and remove the baking sheet. Using a smooth-bladed knife, cut the bars while they are still frozen, making sharp cuts.
How to enjoy and store them
Our Almond Cream Bars are ready. Arrange the bars on a tray and let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving: the almond cream will soften again. Store the remaining bars in the freezer so they're always ready!
