Decadent hazelnut and dark chocolate slice inspired by Ferrero Rocher, with a healthy twist.
Ingredients:
  • 200g pitted fresh dates
  • 220g roasted hazelnuts, skins removed
  • 150g digestive biscuits
  • 30g (1/4 cup) raw cacao powder
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 100g dark (78%) chocolate, melted, cooled slightly, plus extra, to serve (optional)
  • 2 medium ripe avocados (about 250g flesh)
  • 140g (1/2 cup) coconut yoghurt
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) maple syrup
  • 8.80 gm vanilla extract
  • 150g dark (78%) chocolate, melted, cooled slightly
Instructions:
  • Prepare the cake pan by greasing it and lining it with baking paper, leaving some excess paper on the sides. In a heatproof bowl, soak the dates in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then, drain the dates before using.
  • In a food processor, combine 120g hazelnuts, biscuits, and cacao. Pulse until roughly chopped. Add dates and vanilla, then pulse until the mixture is almost smooth but still slightly chunky. Press half of the mixture into a pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  • Prepare a tray by lining it with baking paper. Form the remaining mixture into balls, each using 2 teaspoonfuls. Press a whole hazelnut into the center of each ball and roll to enclose. Coarsely chop the rest of the hazelnuts. Dip the balls into melted chocolate, allowing any extra to drip off. Sprinkle the balls with the chopped hazelnuts and place them on the lined tray. Finish by drizzling any remaining chocolate over the balls. Chill in the fridge until set or ready to serve.
  • Next, combine avocado, yogurt, maple syrup, cacao, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. Then, add melted chocolate and blend until creamy. Spread the mousse over the slice and refrigerate overnight to set.
  • Remove the slice from the pan and cut it into 16 squares. Top each square with chocolate balls and drizzle with extra melted chocolate, if desired.
