Ingredients

1 ½ cup mix of walnuts and almonds
½ cup dried shredded coconut
1 cup plums
1 banana
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
½ cup mix of cacao and shredded black chocolate I used Dar Chocolate
salt to taste

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Soak the plums for ½ hour until soft.
Cut the chocolate in very small pieces.
Pit the plums and blend them well in a food processor.
Place the walnuts and almonds in a food processor, pulse them until they are fine.
Remove the nuts from the food processor, place into a bowl and set aside.
Gather the blended nuts, the plums, the banana, and the chocolate.
Add the pitted plums and pulse several times. Once the plums have formed a paste, roughly cut up the banana and add it to the plums along with the vanilla. Pulse a few times to blend everything together.
Add the plum mixture to the nuts. Add a pinch of salt. This gives a flavourful combination between salt and sweet.
Mix to combine. To finish add the mix of cacao and the chocolate and mix them all well to combine.

Notes

Instead of plums, you can use dates. Prepare them in the same way.
Except for the shredded coconut, you can either roll them in cocoa powder or in shredded hazelnuts. All the choices match perfectly together.
Use fresh nuts.
