Topping
Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 730 g before cooking, which is about 75 g per serving.
Steps
Base
Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas, crushed rice cakes, 4 pitted dates, banana, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Blend or process until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Line a container or tray with parchment paper. Transfer the base mixture to it and press it firmly into an even layer, smoothing the surface.
Caramel
Blend the rinsed and drained cannellini beans with 6 pitted dates and a pinch of salt until completely smooth and creamy.
Spread the bean caramel evenly over the base layer.
Topping
Melt the dark chocolate, then pour it over the caramel layer.
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the melted chocolate.
Set & Slice
Freeze for a couple of hours, until firm. The transcript says the bars were left freezing overnight during the video, while the written recipe specifies a couple of hours.
Lift the firm slab from the tray and slice it into 10 bars.
Notes
The written recipe says to rinse and drain both kinds of beans; the transcript also describes using the cannellini-bean tin liquid, so follow the written recipe's rinse-and-drain instruction. The source does not specify chocolate-melting equipment or a precise freezer duration beyond a couple of hours. Reported per bar: 150 calories, 8 g protein, about 18 g carbohydrates, about 6 g fat, and 5 g fiber.
