Filling
- Melt coconut cream and chocolate over low heat in a medium pot. Set aside.
- Drain dates and place them in the blender. Add chickpeas, melted coconut cream, and chocolate, and blend until you get a thick cream.
- Add ground hazelnuts and process again until well combined. Adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Spread the chocolate cream on top of the crusts. Place the cakes in the fridge, best overnight.
Chocolate topping
- Melt chocolate over low heat in a medium pot. Stir until smooth. Let it cool down a bit.
- Add coconut cream, melted chocolate and agave to the blender and blend shortly until smooth.
- Using a teaspoon, carefully spread chocolate topping over the cakes. Put the cakes in the fridge for half an hour to allow the topping to firm up.
- Top with berries.
Notes
Always chill your coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, being sure not to shake or tip the can to encourage separation of the cream and liquid.
