This healthy raw chocolate slice is such a great treat to have on hand to satisfy those sweet cravings.
If you love bliss balls but hate the task of rolling them all up, then this Healthy Raw Chocolate Slice is for you. It only takes around 10 minutes to make and it is the perfect healthy treat to have on hand. For another epic raw date treat, why not try my Date and Chocolate Bark.
Ingredients notes:
- Dates: These provide natural sweetness and help bind the slice together.
- Cashews: Add a lovely creamy texture and subtle nutty flavour. You can use either raw or roasted cashews.
- Cocoa powder: Gives the slice its rich chocolate flavour without needing lots of added sugar.
Step by step instructions:
Blitz all of the slice ingredients together in a food processor then pour into a lined slice tin.
Push the mixture out to the edges and flatten the top with a spoon. To make the topping, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave then spread over the slice.
Chill in the fridge until set, then slice. Keep the slice in an airtight container in the fridge.
I like to keep mine in an airtight container in the fridge where it will last for a few weeks (unless you eat it all straight away). My young kids love this slice too. If you prefer bliss balls then you can make the same recipe and roll it into balls.
For another amazing raw treat, be sure to have a look at our Snickers Peanut Butter Bites.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes, but start with less coconut milk and add more as needed, as coconut milk is thinner than coconut cream.
Absolutely! Almonds or hazelnuts work well, or use sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.
Yes! Simply roll the mixture into balls instead of pressing it into a slice tin.
Storage:
Keep the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few weeks. You can also freeze the mixture as bliss balls - freeze them separately on a tray first, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag.
Top tips:
- If the mixture seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water and blitz again.
- The chocolate topping is optional, but adds a delicious finishing touch.
- You can also roll the mixture into bliss balls instead of making it into a slice.
- Sunflower seeds can be used instead of cashews for a nut-free option.

Is there an alternative for the coconut cream?
Vanya says
I have not tried it with anything else sorry, the coconut cream binds it all together once it is chilled.
Amanda says
Delicious and easy to make.
Second batch made this week! Yes it's that good.....
VJ cooks says
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for the feedback, Amanda 🙂
Hannah says
This slice is delicious! I substituted the cashews for roasted hazelnuts and almonds as that is what I had on hand. Loved how it turned out!
VJ cooks says
That's awesome! Yes the nuts are interchangeable. Glad you enjoyed it.
kristin says
When rolled into bliss balls will they keep in the freezer well? I would like to make them in Advance for my daughter birthday party.
VJ cooks says
Yes they will. Simply freeze them on a tray, separated. Then after an hour you could place them in a zip lock bag or airtight container.
Rose Bartlett says
Hi , do you use roasted or raw nuts?
Thanks Rose
VJ cooks says
Hi Rose, I've used both over the years and either will work. It's more of a personal preference. I hope that helps.
Barbara says
Hi, I’m not that keen on dates, is there an alternative I could use instead?
VJ cooks says
Here are some bliss ball recipes that use other dried fruit as a base. You could make either or these as a slice instead of rolling them into balls.https://vjcooks.com/cranberry-bliss-balls/ https://vjcooks.com/apricot-bliss-balls/
Bex says
I have date paste, how much would I use instead of a cup of whole dates?
VJ cooks says
I don't think that would work as a substitute sorry. Date paste is made from dates and water, but there is no water in this recipe therefore it would be too wet.
Tina says
Delicious… especially for someone who is fasting and cutting back on “Poison… “ oops sorry , I mean sugar… it is soooo good
Jan S says

Kirby says
This slice is fabulous!!! It turned out perfectly! Very satisfying as an after dinner treat for those sweet cravings.
I’ll be making another batch! Thanks so much
VJ cooks says
Awesome, thanks Kirby.
Kate says
Is it fresh coconut or dessicated coconut you use in this recipe?
VJ cooks says
Desiccated coconut 🙂
Sophia says
Sounds like a great slice, what else could i sub for the nuts . as in nut free? Plus could coconut milk be used for the cream , or not ? Thanks
VJ cooks says
You could use sunflower seeds in place of the cashews. IF using coconut milk instead of coconut cream I would reduce the amount to start with, then add in more if required.
Valerie McMeikan says
This looks delish, nice take on the slice rather than ball ✅
To make it gluten free I want to substitute the rolled oats for ground almonds. Would I use the same amount of 1/2 cup, or increase it?
VJ cooks says
I haven't tried that but I think you'd have to eye-ball it. I'd start with 1/2 cup then add more if it looked like the mixture wasn't quite binding.
