Method

Remove the stones from the dates and weigh out 250 g of flesh. Put the dates in a tall blender beaker.
Gently warm the milk in a small saucepan for about 2 minutes, just until warm; do not boil.
Pour the warm milk over the dates and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Stop and blend again if pieces remain.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and coconut oil. Blend again until fully combined, with no dry lumps.
Transfer the spread to a clean jar, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to thicken. Use chilled as a spread and keep the jar refrigerated.
