Hazelnut Chocolate Parfait
[Vegan]

Step 1:

1. Make sure you soak the dates in the water, this way they will be easier to blend.

Step 2:

1. Heat a medium sized non-stick frying pan with a thick bottom and roast the hazelnuts for a few minutes, stirring constantly. When the hazelnuts' skin starts to crack and peel, take the pan off the stove and let cool down a little. Set a few hazelnuts aside for decorating. Then rub the skin off the remaining hazelnuts either with your (clean) fingers or by putting them into a clean dish towel and rubbing them vigorously together.

Step 3:

1. Put hazelnuts, 1/2 cup dates, 1 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons coconut oil into a high-speed blender and blend to a fine cream. I like to make smaller amounts like the chocolate sauce in my small blender. So again, blend 1/4 cup dates, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup cocoa powder to a fine cream.

Step 4:

1. Pour the hazelnut cream and chocolate cream in layers into the dessert glasses. Chop the remaining few hazelnuts roughly and sprinkle them over the parfaits.
