Ingredients

Base layer

6 medjool dates pitted
1/2 cup cashews or macadamias, or a mixture of both
1/4 cup cacao powder

Raspberry layer

1 cup raspberries fresh preferably, or you can also use frozen
1/3 cup cashews or macadamias
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons coconut oil

Chocolate layer

1/3 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/3 cup cacao powder

Instructions

Make the base layer: Add the ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until it resembles fine crumbs and sticks together when pressed. Spoon mixture into a 24 mini muffin pan (see note below) and press down with the back of a teaspoon. Place it in the freezer.
Make the raspberry layer: Add the ingredients to a high speed blender and process until completely combined and smooth. Spoon the mixture onto the bases and smooth over with the back of a teaspoon and place back into the freezer.
Make the chocolate layer: Melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the sweetener. Whisk briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through. Spoon the chocolate layer on top of the raspberry layers and place back into the freezer and let it set completely, approximately 3-4 hours.
Slice and store. I keep mine store in the freezer in an air tight container and remove them a few minutes before serving/eating.

Notes

1) I recommend using either a mini silicon muffin tray, mini muffin liners or cut out little strips of baking paper to use as tabs at the bottom of the regular mini muffin tray, to make it easier to remove them from the muffin tray.

2) If you use frozen raspberries, make sure you thaw them out first and remove any excess liquid before processing the raspberry layer.

3) The cook time does not include the time it takes for this dessert to set in the freezer, approximately 3-4 hours.
