It's easy to make, requiring only 9 ingredients! Made with coconut cream and naturally sweetened with dates, it's vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free (but you'd never know!)
The night before, place the can of coconut cream in the refrigerator. The day of, place the dates from the filling in a bowl with hot water to soak for about 30 minutes.
