Fudgy Protein Brownie Bark (Printable Version)

A rich, fudgy protein-packed bark with medjool dates, cocoa, and a melty chocolate finish.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Base

01 - 240 ml medjool dates, pitted and soaked for 10 minutes
02 - 60 g vanilla or chocolate protein powder
03 - 27 g cocoa powder
04 - 80 g almond butter or sun butter
05 - 5 ml vanilla extract
06 - 30-60 ml dairy-free milk (adjust as needed)
07 - 1.5 g sea salt

→ Mix-ins and Topping

08 - 43 g mini dairy-free chocolate chips
09 - 120 g melted dairy-free chocolate
10 - Flaky sea salt for finishing

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine all ingredients except mini chocolate chips in a blender or food processor and blend until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too dry, gradually add dairy-free milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
02 - Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough by hand to preserve their texture and ensure even distribution.
03 - Evenly press the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle the melted dairy-free chocolate over the surface and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
04 - Refrigerate or freeze the bark until firm. Break into pieces before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container under refrigeration or freezing.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Soaking the dates softens them, facilitating smoother blending.
02 - Adjust dairy-free milk quantities to achieve your preferred dough consistency.
03 - Dark chocolate enhances the depth of flavor if substituted.
