½ Cup (50g) Organic Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 Cup (160g) Dried Blueberries, divided

Method

Combine chopped dates, almonds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, ½ cup blueberries, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse and process all the ingredients together until the texture is coarse. Then add the hemp seeds, ½ cup of blueberries, lemon zest, a quick pulse, and add the lemon juice, a little water at a time until it reaches a dry but moist dough consistency.
