  • Method: No-Bake

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces prunes
  • 1/2 cup hot brewed coffee or espresso
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 7 ounces tea biscuits or digestive-style cookies
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Pour hot coffee over the prunes and soak for at least 1 hour or overnight until fully plump.
  2. Drain the prunes, reserving the soaking liquid. Blend the prunes in a food processor, adding reserved liquid a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and ketchup-like in consistency.
  3. Break the tea biscuits into 1/2-inch pieces. Do not crush into crumbs.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Stir the prune puree, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the melted chocolate until well combined.
  6. Fold in the broken biscuits, pistachios, and walnuts. Mix until evenly coated. If the mixture is too warm, refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
  7. Lay out plastic wrap or parchment. Spoon half the mixture into a log shape (10 inches long, 2.5 inches diameter). Roll tightly and twist ends. Repeat with the rest.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  9. Unwrap and optionally dust with confectioner’s sugar. Slice into rounds and serve.

Notes

  • Swap pistachios or walnuts with almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews.
  • Add dried fruit like chopped apricots or raisins for extra texture.
  • Use brewed tea instead of coffee for a different flavor profile.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate and biscuits to keep it vegan.
  • Freeze slices with parchment paper between for longer storage.
