Jackie’s Recipe of the Month: Festive Slice

By December 11, 2023Recipes

Festive Slice

This has been my favourite Xmas slice for many years now. I make double the recipe and keep it in the freezer. As it takes no time to defrost to eat it is a great back up at this time. My thanks to Organic Sisters and Food Matters for this.

 

Ingredients:

FILLING

  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup of desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup raw pistachio nuts
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream

CHOCOLATE TOPPING

  • 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup (or natural sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 cup of cacao powder

 

Method:

  • Pulse the cranberries, coconut and pistachios in the food processor until chopped (ensure you don’t over process).
  • Add the coconut oil and coconut cream and pulse again until the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the mixture on top of the base and return to the freezer to set.
  • Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao to a small mixing bowl and stir until it is combined and resembles chocolate sauce.
  • Spread the chocolate sauce on top of the filling. Make sure the filling is set before you do this step!
