- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil melted
Salted Caramel
- 1 ½ cups medjool dates pips removed
- 1 tablespoon almond butter

Chocolate topping

Instructions
Base
- In a large bowl, combine almond meal, coconut flour, maple syrup, and coconut oil and stir until well combined.

- Spread out base onto baking paper, using hands to gently knead the base into an even layer.
Salted Caramel
- Combine dates, water, almond butter, salt (start with 1 teaspoon) and maple syrup into a high powdered blender.
- Blend for 5 + minutes, or until dates become blended and smooth. You shouldn't be able to see any chunks of dates.**
- Keep tasting and adding salt according to taste.
- Spread salted caramel evenly over the base.
- Freeze until hard - about 30 minutes.
Chocolate Layer

- Apply evenly to salted caramel layer using a spoon.
- Cut slice into thin pieces and enjoy!
Notes
* I used about 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, but adjust according to taste as you go.
** Date caramel needs to be really well blended to avoid chunky pieces. The blender will heat up as it blends the dates, so eventually you will have a nice, smooth and delicious date caramel. It just takes time!
