Notes
If the crust gets too dry, you can add more coconut oil or a little water little by little, until you get the desired consistency.
You can skip the yogurt, but in that case replace it with the same amount of cream cheese or mascarpone cheese.
Date powder is not very sweet, so adjust the amount according to your taste. You can replace it with another sweetener of your choice.
You can decorate with blueberries, raspberries or other fruits of your choice.
