These healthy bars are a real treat and so pretty.

For those of you are scared off by Tofu, I promise you, you can not taste any of it. It is just a neutral base that carries the flavors of the fruit and chocolate very well and is also loaded with protein rather than carbs. Why not give it a go. Easy and healthy rather than bad, what more could you ask for?

INGREDIENTS Crust:

• 1/2 C. dates, pitted and soaked for 30 min.
• 1/2 C. oats, (gluten free)
• 1/2 C. nuts of choice
• 1 tbsp. cocoa

INSTRUCTIONS:

Drain the dates and pat them dry, put in a food processor together with the remaining ingredients. Pulse for a few time until the mixture is crumbly.

Press into a square baking tin that has been lined with baking parchment.

Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 400° F.

Remove when done and transfer to a rack to cool completely before filling.

• 1 C. silk tofu
• 1 C. Summer fruit mix
• 2 tsp. Agar Agar
• 3 to 4 tbsp Stevia, or sweetener of choice
• 1/2 C. raw Cashew Nuts, that have been soaked for 6 hours

Heat berries in a small saucepan, add the Agar Agar. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Add the Stevia/Xylitol granules. Blend the Cashews in a food processor until silky smooth add a little of the tofu to get it going. Now mix with all the remaining ingredients.

INGREDIENTS Chocolate  Filling:

• 1 C. silk tofu
• 4 oz. dark chocolate 70%, sweetened with coconut sugar
• 1 – 2  tbsp. raw cocoa powder
• 3  tbsp Stevia, Xylitol or sweetener of choice

To assemble:

Take spoonfuls of each mixture and place on crust alternating until you have used it all up. Make sure there are no air holes left. Shake the tin if necessary. Gently flatten to top with a spatula. Now with a knife draw a few “S”shapes in the filling for a rippled effect.

Put in the refrigerator for a few hours until completely set.

Nut rosettes for decorating the top:

• 1 C. Cashew Nuts, soaked for 6 hours, drained
• 1/3 C. Coconut cream, maybe a tablespoon more
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Mix all the ingredients in a high-speed blender or magic Bullet, blend until smooth. Put the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a rose tip, make little roses on top of the slices.
