Chocolate fruit pralines and date drink

This vegan lemon cake is sinfully delicious and quick and easy to prepare.

Preparation

Recipe for the fruit pralines
Break the chocolate into pieces and let it melt over the bain-marie. Keep the liquid chocolate warm. Roast the nuts in a nonstick frying pan without oil and set aside.
Chop the dates and figs with a knife and put them in a blender with the pistachios, salt and margarine. Mix everything to a sticky mass.
Now form 8 balls with a weight of around 20 g.
Place each ball one after the other on a fork and hold them over the bowl with the melted chocolate. Now use a tablespoon to pour chocolate over the balls one at a time. Place the coated balls on a plate covered with baking paper and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, chop the roasted nuts with a knife and sprinkle them over the pralines.
Chill the pralines.

Recipe for the date drink
Puree all ingredients very finely with the help of a heavy duty blender. This will make the drink lukewarm.
Serve the date drink lukewarm if you like it that way or refrigerate before serving.
Tip: If you like a chocolate flavour, add some cocoa powder or cocoa nibs to the blender.

Tip: Dip banana chips, dates or nuts in the leftover chocolate and also refrigerate.
