ingredients
directions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.
- Place dates and water in a saucepan and leave them to gently warm until the dates are soft and some water is absorbed.
- Finely grind or chop the coconut. (I used organic desiccated coconut, not sweetened.) Chop the nuts, as desired.
- If using a food processor, add butter to the warm dates and then process until relatively smooth. If not, press the dates through a sieve and add the butter to the date sauce.
- Add eggs, coconut, cocoa powder, and pecans to the date and butter mixture and combine well.
- Smooth in a small baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.

YES, these are indeed wonderful! I use half dates and half dried papaya (can't have too many dates) and 50 g coconut flour instead of 150 g desiccated coconut, and it worked wonderfully, too. The coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, thus I used only 50 g, and that was perfect. I loved the smooth texture and the combination of pecans and coconut. This definitely is a keeper! Thanks for posting!
