Coconut Rose Date Bark is an easy dessert you need to make during festival season. Coconut gives a crunch and the rose adds so much flavor to this delicious Date Bark. This is an Indian or Desi spin on the viral trending Date Bark. The mejdool dates are soft and gives so much sweetness to this bark. Everyone in my family approved of this and this is what I will be making for Rakshabandhan this year. This can easily replace an Indian mithai and perfect to enjoy other festivals such as Diwali or Christmas. These are guilt free, vegan and egg free.

Date bark is a chocolate bark made with Dates on one side and then the topping is added and layered with melted chocolate. The bark is then frozen so the chocolate can harden and you can enjoy them as a dessert.

Use 70 % dark Cocoa chocolate as the dates are sweet and you to balance the sweetness. Once the bark is frozen, store them in fridge as the chocolate may melt in your hands 

What type of dates can I use ? 

The mejdool dates are preferred for this bark but if you can’t find them, you can choose to use any dates that are soft and sweet. You can also dip the dates in hot water for some time and soften and dry them if you are unable to find soft version of dates

You can smash the dates and then layer it with nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter. Then you can sprinkle chopped nuts and drizzle melted chocolate over it. This version tastes like a snicker bar. 

You can be creative with the layer of toppings such as nut butters, cream, ice cream, tahini and so much more. The chocolate can be topped off with nut mixtures or rose petals and so much more.
