Ingredients
Base
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 cup pitted dates (chopped and soaked in boiling water to soften)
Filling
- 1 & 1/2 cups soaked raw cashews (best soaked over night)
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tsp Natvia
- 2 tsp high quality 100% matcha green tea powder
- 2 tsp peppermint essence (or less if you don’t like strong mint flavours)
- 1 tbs honey
Chocolate Topping
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cacao
- 1 tbs natural peanut butter
- 1 tbs pure maple syrup
- 2 tbs Natvia (or to your desired sweetness)
Method
- In a food processor, process all of the base ingredients until well combined and add around 1 – 2 tbs of water to form a paste.
- Place base mixture in lined slice tin and press down, then place in fridge to set.
- Place all the filling ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Smooth out the filling on top of the base layer and place back in the fridge.
- In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil and the rest of the chocolate topping ingredients and stir until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
- Ensure base and filling mixture is cold before adding chocolate layer or the chocolate will melt the filling.
- Once chocolate topping is cooled slightly spread on top of slice and place back in fridge to set.
- Once set (about 1hour) cut into 16 slices
- Store in fridge for about 2 weeks or freezer for about 3 months
