Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Almonds or pecans
1 cup Pitted dates (Soak if dry)
1/2 cup Cocoa or raw cacao powder
1 pinch Salt
1 cup Thick canned coconut cream
1 cup Baby spinach leaves (Optional)
1/2 cup Fine shredded coconut

1 cup Roughly chopped vegan chocolate
1/2 cup Thick canned coconut cream
1/4 cup Chopped pistachios (Optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, blend together the almonds or pecans, pitted dates, cocoa or raw cacao powder, and a pinch of salt until a sticky mixture forms.
Firmly press the chocolate mixture into the base of a lined baking dish, ensuring it’s even.
In a bowl, combine the thick canned coconut cream, baby spinach leaves (if using), shredded coconut, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and mint extract. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mint filling over the pressed chocolate base and spread it evenly.
Melt the roughly chopped vegan chocolate with thick canned coconut cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the mint filling, ensuring an even coating.
If you like, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it set until firm, about 1-2 hours.
