Chocolate and coconut, without a doubt, is one of my addictions lately. The taste of dark chocolate and the sweetness of coconut is simply amazing. With a raw base with only 3 ingredients and naturally sweetened. This is one of the most delicious and simple recipes I made. The perfect dessert for the whole family, to take away or eat with a coffee!

Recipe Notes
*You can use coconut milk refrigerated overnight
Figs are too dry. I am not able to grind then neither in mixi nor blender. Please let me know how to process fig & cashew together.,
If your figs are too dry you have to soak them at least one hour in hot water or 4 hours in cold water, in this way they will soften. Let me know if you try the recipe!
