I love chocolate. I love figs. I have also developed a culinary crush on a certain human who invented this recipe. It’s delicious and a perfect treat for when you want to indulge and impress all of your friends. It’s chewy, raw, delicious and packed with nutrients! And chocolate…
Recipe adapted from the amazing CHOCOLATE for BASIL. I highly recommend you check out her food shrine.

Instructions
-
In your 2L Wet Container quickly blend on HIGH speed your crust ingredients. It doesn’t have to be smooth. Just enough so that it is moldable to form a base for your cake. Please make sure your dates are soaked as this helps the blending process and brings out their caramel – like flavour. Press this into the bottom of a loaf tin and set it in the fridge.
-
In your 2L Wet container blend your filling ingredients on HIGH speed using your tamper effectively into a rough paste. Again, it doesn’t have to be very smooth. This mixture should be chunky and sticky. Spread this mixture over your crust and set it in the fridge.
-
Add all your chocolate topping ingredients into your 2L Wet container and blend on HIGH speed using your tamper really well. Blend until you have a smooth icing consistency. Spread this over your filling layer and decorate to suit your style!
