Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients, measuring out the tigernut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, medjool dates, and other necessary components.
Cook the Base
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tigernut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix using a fork and then bring the dough together with your hands. Roll it into a ball and press it evenly into a lined baking pan.
Make the Caramel
- Microwave the pitted medjool dates in a covered bowl with water for about 2 minutes. Drain the water, place the dates in a food processor with coconut oil, vanilla, and salt, and blend until smooth.
Thicken the Caramel
- Add coconut flour to the blended dates and mix until achieving a rich, thick consistency.
Assemble the Bars
- Spread the caramel mixture evenly over the shortbread base in the baking pan.
Freeze
- Cover the baking dish and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring frequently.
Cut the Bars
- Remove the bars from the freezer and cut them into 16 pieces using a sharp knife.
Dip in Chocolate
- Dip each piece into the melted chocolate and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Set and Serve
- Allow the coated bars to set at room temperature or back in the freezer until firm.
Notes
These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week or frozen for longer storage. Enjoy cold or allow to soften slightly before serving.
