I saw this recipe on swisspaleo.ch and I thought of giving it a try. I used 7 medjool dates instead of 8, 2 tbs of honey and used pecans for the crust. I also made my own chocolate to drizzle on top of the coconut layer (recipe below). It turned out so delicious that I decided to share the recipe here. So here is my version of it:
