  • Drain and mash some banana with a little coconut milk, to be added gradually. Banana is very effective and thickens very much, so it may not be necessary to use it all to make the dough.
  • In another bowl, mash the dates with a little coconut milk until a smooth, brownish and very sweet dough is formed (we use the dates in place of sugar).
  • Put the two masses together, the banana with dates. Add slowly and stir. It can also be crushed all at once, but this can be a bit more difficult because of the hardness of dates.
  • Add cocoa powder (about 4 tablespoons, to taste) and shelled walnuts. The dough should not be too liquid
