Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add the walnuts, 1/4 cup of dates and 1/2 tbsp coconut oil to a food processor and grind until well combined. The mixture will clump together.
Spread the crust in the bottom of a glass 8x8 square dish.
Soak 1/4 C dates in water for 1-2 minutes, then transfer them (without the water) to the food processor. Add all of the remaining filling ingredients, excluding the chocolate chips, to the food processor and mix until smooth.
If using a dark chocolate bar, chop it into smaller pieces. Fold the chocolate into the filling and spread over the crust.
Set in the freezer to chill at least 1 hour before serving.
Cut into 9-12 pieces, drizzle with chocolate and enjoy!
